  1. @drdrparky @sarahbridle In NZ it was the other way round. 2 people sharing one position. Not 1 person between 2 departments.
  2. @reneewebs @astopixie I didn't interview for mine, but slipped in (from my diploma which I interviewed for), but I know I was lucky.
  3. @reneewebs It's common in UK to be interviewed for a PhD and I think most other places, too
  4. Where in Heidelberg are people staying for #dotastro ? Never had to stay there in a hotel before.
  5. Check out these videos about the Inflativerse, Nottinghams inflatable planetarium! youtube.com/watch?v=cWBhET… and youtube.com/watch?v=jSc05i…
  6. @allinthegutter Ah, Thanks. I always wanted my name to be connected to astronomy shoes :S
  7. @stephenfry The Univ. of Nottingham is running a public lecture series, some on astronomy, but some for the IYC. tinyurl.com/coqp5gk
  8. Always have your stuff when you need it with @Dropbox. 2GB account is free! db.tt/0LT3Hso
  9. Starting st UoN radio at 6pm, talking about GalaxyZoo. Listen at urn1350.net
  10. @astropixie buy and use spanning sync, synchronizes both ical and contacts between MAC and Google.
  11. @chrislintott @galaxyzoo pretty sure the MilkyWay Twin is a GEMS galaxy, I've seen it before. ;-)
  12. Still working on stuff for the Inflativerse!
  13. Yey! RT @dotastronomy: #dotastro 4 will be held Summer 2012. More details when we have them.
  14. @megschwamb french fast trains are awesome! Cannot speak for that particular route, but generally, train should be preferred over plane
  15. @AstronomyNow All galaxy fitting codes are bound to have outliers. SIGMAv7 has very few and does much better than most other codes.
  16. Hmm, I tried to state that they can NOT! “@AstronomyNow: "The colour of galaxies allow astronomers to classify between different galaxies"
  17. @aallan Use Wolfram Alpha ;-) http://tinyurl.com/66hb6lf
  18. Excellent, I'm sick of discussing. RT @plutokiller Look, it wasn't MY idea, but, really, perhaps the time HAS come: http://bit.ly/etUJ6k
  19. @starstryder oh no, that's terrible. Hope you make your connection.
