Many things that I am thankful for, but one of them is the Long Ridge Preserve in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Really amazing to see #AI #ethics as the topic of Harvard Medical School’s oldest endowed lecture (est. 1917 by George Washington Gay, class of 1868). Effy Vayena’s talk was a tour de force on the implications of AI for bioethics.

Finally found a spot with clear enough skies to catch the comet tonight

These are fairly crummy photos, but they are just from a regular zoom lens plus a teleconverter. It’s shocking to me that you can see Jupiter that way. I don’t think I’m hallucinating the cloud bands in one, and in the other you can see three of Jupiter’s moons in orbit. #astrophotography

I’m amazed that it’s possible to take pictures of things like the Dumbbell Nebula from my back yard. The universe is wild. #NGC6853 #astrophotography
