New paper alert!

Our paper from the Jovian Vortex Hunter citizen science project is out now on PSJ: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3.... We had over 5000 Zooniverse volunteers comb through more than 60000 images from JunoCam to find around 8000 vortices between 2018-2021.

Just got around to watching The Creator last night and I simply can't get enough of the south/south-east Asian influence. Everything feels just like back home which is something that even south Asian movies are missing these days by shooting in exotic locations or using extravagantly designed sets.
