Call for Editors at the Open Journal ofΒ Astrophysics

Remember the days when eduroam was a global academic WiFi network that actually worked? Yeah, me neither
Hot take: If you are thinking about observation planning, and if you have choices, you should choose the plan that maximizes your long-term future-discounted information gain.

My hot take is that some of astronomy - data-crunching papers with no novel modelling or interpretations - deserves its reckoning. We give tedious papers to grad students as "training", but is it really? Maybe astronomy can get multiple publishing tiers, like in other fields.
Not targeting anyone in particular or anything, but making a press release for something that's just posted on arXiv is cringe
Today the ESO time allocation results have allegedly been announced.

All at the same time
You guessed it, it's been down for an hour
A deliberate choice in other to lower the number of proposals that we will submit?
Did they give a reason?
I would like to occasionally post discussions about astronomy papers which I find interesting, as well as photos from observing trips.
