Staring into space
they/them

If anyone is hiring or knows of someone who is hiring remotely in the UK or locally in NI for an astrophysics PhD who is cracking with Python, knows a bit of SQL and cloud computing, is experienced in both data analysis and software development, and is ALSO uncannily quick to learn new things, then hit me up.

ETA: Just to be clear: I'm not looking for astrophysics jobs. My experience in astro was largely in big data wrangling and software dev so that's what I'm after now!

@millerdl Thank you! The likely source of confusion and reason for lack of announcement is that the new strike action relates to the failure of management to abide by the terms of a previous agreement while the ongoing ballot is about a potential future round of cuts after April. Doesn't change the big picture though.
@sarahdal @hanjabanja Entirely natural, but no less painful for that. Many hugs and best wishes for less sad times.
@sarahdal I was mildly disconcerted the other day when I saw my photo (fortunately along with the rest of the team) on a youtube thumbnail. Well done to my colleague for getting our work out there, but not sure about their choice of title page.

@cstross An author who hails from Auld Reekie,
Came up with a plan quite sneaky,
To identify clankers,
(And miscellaneous wankers),
And block them all quite completely.

No idea why that popped into my head.

@hanjabanja Stay warm! And also, not *too* warm!
Ice. The good kind.
By the standards of the borders it was pretty crowded; I think there may have been four people in view at the same time at one point.
Took advantage of the first sunny weekend day in a long time to get out for a bit of a walk.
@cait How confident are you that it's a guy with really good leopard-print hair rather than a leopard with a really good human mask?
