It'll take me several days to actually get home, but I'm about to start the first leg of the #ProfSamLectureTour return trip.
I'd like to point out that while I was here, the 3 of us friends who wrote the cow-culation paper also wrote a scicomm article https://theconversation.com/a-new-space-race-could-turn-our-atmosphere-into-a-crematorium-for-satellites-276366 and an obituary. (While I also travelled around and gave talks about satellite pollution and helped with teaching).
What a year these last 6 weeks have been! Thanks for all the flat whites, Christchurch!
XKCD: Satellite Pollution
Title text: We're working to make sure the images are as up-to-date and accurate as possible, with a minimum number of sponsored galaxies.
In XKCD world, this is tech's solution to light pollution by LEO constellations and its effect on astronomy - 100-mile wide banners hanging off satellites with pictures of stars and galaxies, mostly inaccurate.
Problem solved!

if I have a LITTLE time for personal work, I'll often do something abstract, that I can complete in a couple of hours...
Here's the latest example!
I think I'm going to rework it at higher quality, and make it loop properly.
