Video: AAS 233 // SHORT: Tactile Astronomy!

My favorite booth at AAS 233 was by GLAS Education, showcasing astronomy education materials for the blind and visually impaired. This has long been super important work for Astronomy, and it's so wonderful to see new innovations and ideas explored! http://bit.ly/2D8FwzT This is a short video based on my daily vlogs from the 233rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society, held in beautiful Seattle in Jan 2019. All week I'll be showing talks, posters, swag, vendors, people, and trying to give a taste of what it's like to attend the largest annual professional astronomy meeting in the world!

Day 4 of AAS 223, the final day of the conference, and the famous annual Hack Together Day!

This year we had record interest in the #HackAAS event, even after a long week of science and networking. Also watch as I drop things AND forget to turn my camera on...

Video: AAS 233 // Creativity

Day 3 of AAS 233 and I'm thinking about creativity. So many amazing posters, graphs, hand-outs, side projects, plus the SDSS booth gives away some of their plugplates - wow! I talked Kepler data visualization with Ethan Kruse, writing a blog with Julianne Dalcanton, was inspired by a plenary talk by my friend and grad-school classmate, Aomawa Shields, and so much more. What a day! This is the fourth of my daily vlogs from the 233rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society, held in beautiful Seattle in Jan 2019.

Video: AAS 233 // I ALMOST ruined it

Today I saw talks on stellar flares (woo!) contributed to a discussion about SETI/"Technosignatures" and the Astro 2020 Decadal Survey, and *very nearly* angered some of the people I admire most! I'm also thinking about careers, networking, jobs... all those life things that come up at each AAS meeting!
