Board game night clarification: Risk is banned due to “the incident” at a previous meeting. Diplomacy is permitted, but instead of countries the teams are Observers, Simulators, Theorists, and Cosmologists. Keep it friendly out there #nam2025

Ordinarily, @leighfletcher.bsky.social’s plenary on gas giants seen with JWST would make any exoplanet observers feel bad about their life (and spectral modelling) choices, except there aren’t any here this week #toomanyconferences #exoclimes

The seating plan for tonight’s dinner is simple: sit opposite anyone whose paper you are refereeing, to the right of your PhD supervisor’s arch rival.
On your left is the person who will get the job you want. Otherwise, alphabetical by the third letter or your name written in Greek. #nam2025

Good news at #nam2025 : new investment in instrument building in the UK. Bad news: it consists entirely of the leftover Lego from the creativity session. First come first served!

Attendees are requested not to through copies of Binney & Tremaine onto the stage during today’s plenary. Those things are heavy. Chanting along with your favourite derivations is, of course, encouraged #nam2025

Remember, the conference is on zoom because without zoom you don’t have a hope in hell of seeing the slides. Grad students: you can hide a lot in small text, just claim big things and hide the rest #nam2025

We’d planned to return for #NAM2025 but the conference wifi won’t display this account. Or the program. Or anything about NAM. Is the conference itself now unofficial @robertmassey.bsky.social ?
