It only returns to the communities lucky enough to have societies with high-impact journals. Meanwhile, I (and many of my fellow Aussie astronomers) are now facing a reality where we can’t afford to publish: read&pub agreements have failed & grant funding is too limited to cover the costs.

Can I please have a cluster?! I gave a tutorial yesterday to my 3rd yr stellar Astro class on clusters and isochrone fitting, so this is very timely 😁

OMG I didn’t realise that you got Round the Twist in the UK!! Loved that show. I remember visiting some of their filming locations while on holiday as a kid.

Or screen print/paint/stencil on to an old shirt?
… i already had plans for this weekend but I guess I have new ones now. Will I ambitious start this craft project, get distracted/bored/tired part way through and then abandon it unfinished for several months..? Most likely.

I now want a t-shirt with ‘Science is a team sport’ on it. Or a mug. Or both!
