Haha yeah you do need the right conditions, I didn’t believe it until I saw it twice at La Silla! Hope you are having clear nights otherwise :)

Curious to hear more about people who have done this switch too! I have often wondered about this as a future option, and data science jobs to develop solutions for fighting climate change seem interesting! I know Kamen Todorov who made such a switch a while ago www.linkedin.com/in/kamen-o-t...

Great advice! My own list would look very similar to yours. Especially the last one - attaching your whole identity to your work is a recipe for burn out (at ALL career stages).

As far as I know mlem means the tongue is in motion, in the act of licking, hence the onomatopoetic nature of the word. A blep is stationary. www.dictionary.com/e/slang/mlem/

There still seems to be confusion on derp vs blep vs mlem.

My contention that they are in order or the amount of tongue showing. That is a mlem- the biggest of the bunch. Derp is when just a tiny bit is showing and blep is in the middle.
