Great to be at @theorsociety.bsky.social Simulation Workshop #SW25 learning about simulation uses in healthcare, airline and military settings today, as well as a bespoke discrete event simulation tutorial using open source software #Modelling #Simulation
A recent post on the @a4e.org slack has sparked my attention to this fascinating paper on a rigorous estimate of the carbon footprint of astronomical research www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Astronomy feeds now include 11 (!!!) brand new specific subfeeds! π
The subfeeds try to cover every part of astronomy research with at least one feed.
All subfeeds automatically crosspost to the main Astronomy feed, too!
Here's a thread with links to all of them β¬οΈ
Using our first ever Bluesky post to let you know more about our Scholars Programme! We work across the UK with students aged 8-18. A world-expert PhD researcher comes into your school and delivers a university-style course, usually based on their own research, to small groups of pupils.
Episode two of mine and @payeldas.bsky.social podcast is live! Join us as we delve into some cool astronomy papers from the last month ππ§ͺ
A spiral galaxy from the Galaxy Zoo 2 project, classified by 49 volunteers.
A spiral galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey.
It is at redshift 0.028 (lookback time 397.0 million years) with coordinates (213.12100, 24.63550).
49 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo 2.
