Week 13
Decent week with sunshine.
Summary
Project asterism: I did some writing and structuring.
I prepped for an afternoon session where we had a look at how to improve the usability.
I collected and wrote code for doing this easily for many stars.
This needs a bit of testing, but I think I can finish it Monday next week.
PLATO: I didn’t get so many things done this week on the PLATO front.
pitchfork: I did some reading and commenting.
roguehennes: Accepted :)
eagleescape: I need to finish the run and send it.
Teaching:
- I was teaching Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, but it was the last week before their deadline so not much was required.
- I supervised ~1 hour Tuesday and answered a lot of emails prior to them submitting their reports Friday.
Postdoc rep:
- I invited people for the next jamboree - if this one accepts I have a full line-up.
- I met and chatted with some people.
- Some people asked for resources on
how to supervise, especially PhD students. I asked around, collected some resources, but this also highlighted the need for a skill session on the topic.
admin:
- I did some planning of future travel with the group.
- My visa expires soon, so I got stuff started in order to extend it.
