Definitely saw this quickly and thought "OH NO What's wrong with Andrew's spine?!?!"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What!!!

This is wrong, it does get easier. No one remembers how hard and time-consuming babies are.

We even have places in Austin where men, women, and non-binary folks all wash their hands next to each other. Quelle horreur!

Bonus of this: you learn that a shocking number of men walk out of the urinal-closet-room and DON'T WASH THEIR HANDS

There is an equivalent for JWST! outerspace.stsci.edu/display/SBOI...

It's been weighted like this for many years. That said -- this was a surprise to me the first time I served on an HST panel. I highly recommend serving on a panel to figure out the secret sauce of getting STScI telescope time!

As someone who's reviewed for STScI before -- this is often taken by the panel to be "out of subfield impact" -- like, maybe I'm studying cold brown dwarfs which is interesting to me, but why is it interesting BROADLY for exoplanets, solar system planets, atmospheres overall, or planet formation

WHY ARE GEN-Z ARMS SO LONG?!

This is funded by a NASA TCAN grant and has "nodes" in New York (AMNH) and Silicon Valley (NASA Ames) -- so there could be options to travel frequently to these locations too.

It is good practice! I’d say it’s normal for a “visit” (colloquium, seminars, etc.) to end up with lots of meetings (minus the interview). But when I hire postdocs we just do a 1-hour zoom call.

Hard disagree! It's like a party in my inbox. We don't have that many reasons to celebrate, don't spoil our fun!

I'll show my "pandemic baby" (x2!) privilege and say.... you can just stay home, AAS will be there forevermore. I am so much more chill about missing out or not "pulling my weight" now.

But to answer your actual question, I tried pumping at a meeting once and it was terrible.
