Week 6

I am feeling tired but optimistic that next week will be good.

Summary

Project asterism: I debugged the model as I when testing could never be close to finding the slope of the heliumenrichment law, which is kinda crucial. I have cleaned the repository and I am running a test on the observed stars with the surface correction. I have been writing a bit, but I want to do more next week.

Project Percy: Paper accepted with like the shortest referee report ever :)

Project Reaction Rates: Referee report came back with minor revision.

Project gmork: I rewrote a section and submitted my last comments on the draft.

PLATO: I updated cookiecutter for MSAP5_11 and checked that the CI worked. I updated my laptop to Ubuntu 24, so I do need to update the Docker image to Python 3.12.

But before doing anything further I need to have clarification on: license for the work (MIT/LGPL/Apache?) and where is the up-to-date PSM code that I know Mark submitted pre-New years?

Teaching:

I am teaching Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
I wrote general and indivial feedback for their handed-in worksheets.
I supervised ~1 hour Tuesday.

Postdoc rep:

I had post doc coffee Monday. It went surprisingly alright - two new postdocs were present and we had a fruitfull discussion.
I sent out the general invite for the March Physics Postdoc Jamboree.

Admin:

None

Other:

I helped other people with references and inputs to presentations and introductions.
