Brian C. Keegan, Ph.D.Sorry, I can’t meet tomorrow. I’ll be busy all day reading everything linked from the @wikipedia article about multi-messenger astronomy. #GravitationalWaves
How long do we have to wait to get a microphone in front of @cyberlyra to learn about the differences in both the instruments and the organizational cultures of LIGO vs. pulsar timing arrays?
My Q: what unique institutional logics (if any) shape scientific projects where data collection happens over decades?
Ole@bkeegan *ahem* General Social Survey *cough* Demographic and Health Surveys ... but more seriously, yes, that would be great to learn more about. Maybe sth where astronomers/physicists and social scientists could have interesting exchanges?
Janet Vertesi@bkeegan LOL! just hand me the mic. I do have a lot to say about this.
(Also shout out to Tiffany Nichols on LIGO, and of course Harry Collins on gravitational wave detection).
