For #NationalScienceWeek, I wanted to share my fave technology: the #VR headset! These enable an amazing immersive collaboration that opens up opportunities to go well #BeyondBeingThere 🙌 ❤️

Montage of images with a central focus on a VR headset, with ten different photos showing people in different immersive spaces - giving talks, running conferences, exploring worlds and interacting socially.

This was such a fun chat with @raynerexplainer.bsky.social and Seizure, all about #SAURON! Being able to build SAURON, see it boost our efficiency and constantly make it better has been one of the best parts of overseeing science operations for #ASKAP 👁️📡 Link: australianhighlights.com.au/vanessamoss
Social media image advertising the podcast which features Dr Vanessa Moss, Head of Science Operations for CSIRO's ASKAP radio telescope with an image of said Vanessa standing in front of ASKAP dishes. Image of a quote from the podcast: "It's taking the risk and saying, well, we're not going to throw humans at it, even though that's what facilities of this scale around the world tend to do. We're going to try something different." Image of an ASKAP antenna at night, with the Milky Way visible in the sky. Image of Vanessa with a quote from the podcast: "We're starting from a point of saying, all right, we want it to be as autonomous as possible. What have we learned from SAURON and how could we do better?"

And finding the occasional hidden skeleton is a fun bonus! 💀 located this time by @elizabethtasker.bsky.social!
The hidden skeleton from Mount Olympus, just hanging out in a secret location as they are wont to do.

Always enjoy our @futuremeetings.bsky.social adventures into #VR - especially the beautiful worlds of @walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social! By far the biggest advantage of #immersive tech that we've found in #TFOM is the ability to be *together* with others, whether for social or work!

Hi everyone 👋 Planning to get a bit more active on here, looking forward to meeting you and chatting about #astronomy, #VR, #ASKAP, #TFOM, #automation, #scicomm, #remotecollab and more! 🙌 Here's a pic of me contemplating the future of #humanity atop a carbon pillar representing conference travel ✈️
A small figure sits atop a tall pillar of carbon, stretching high into the sky, surrounded by a bleak mountainous wasteland with a blue sky patched with pink clouds above - a virtual representation of the cost of astronomy travel, created by Glen Rees as part of "The Future of Meetings" (TFOM).
