The Future of MeetingsLast year was a really busy year for us, especially in the #astronomy world π Two major #TFOM activities involved partnering with @astrosocaus on #ASA2024 and the IAU GA NOC on #IAUGA2024 and we have just had our findings released publicly π
Our @NatureAstronomy Comment on #ASA2024 has just been published and reflects on our findings in applying new technologies like #VR to online #meetings and the main barriers facing widespread adoption of these formats. Hint: itβs not the tech! Link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-024-02460-z #TFOM

For the first time in 2024, the Astronomical Society of Australia Annual Scientific Meeting was held as an online-first conference, incorporating unprecedented use of immersive spatial venues. This Comment presents findings from this experiment in accessible conferencing and reflects on their implications in the current academic climate.

Jonathan HorowitzGot takeout from Kan Bei because I thought it was in Chinatown. It was absolutely not, which is not their fault. The dishes I got were not particularly good. Chili-fried chicken was dry and dull, fried rice was meh. Dan Dan Noodles were okay? Skip this one and do delivery from Aunt Dai instead. Or try someplace else in Chinatown.
Already had smoked meat at Dunn's Famous, now it was time to try Schwartz's. The regular sandwich at Schwartz's is about half the size as the super-large sandwich at Dunn's but I almost didn't care because it was so good. Flavor burst out every time I took another bite--slightly spicy, tangy. I'd give Dunn's an A for quality, and Dunn's is better value because you get so much more. But somehow I think Schwartz's tastes better.
presenting today @ #ASA2024 #ASA24 the 3rd part of our work on social sandwiching and well being in later life.
