Daily Vlog at the AAS 231 Meeting!

I shot and posted a VLOG about AAS 231 every day!

Topics discussed include:

• data visualization/sonification
• conference swag & free food
• conference experiences

• the hack day!

If you want to see what it's like to be at AAS, give these a watch!

Also, this project generated some excitement back home, so subscribe on Youtube for more videos in the coming weeks giving a view of what life as an astronomer is like.
