ESO Science Day
Today was the ESO Science Day. What does that means?? Means each astronomer would talk about the latest results. Not everyone at ESO is an astronomer, there are several other areas on development, like lots of engineers and lots of administrative people. And most of the astronomers are not hired to do full time astronomical research. Most are hired to do research and work on duties (like user support, instrument development ...). So astronomers must gather from time to time to know what the others are doing.84 were available to talk today, that means 4 minutes talks to each one. No exceptions! The director for science had the same 4 minutes as the undergrad student. If the director general was around he would have the same 4 minutes too.
Very nice to know what most of the people is doing! Some are doing stuff related to some project I'm in, some do very different things, but still interesting. No one else talked about compact groups of galaxies ... :-( But Magda Arnaboldi talked about intracluster light, like half way there.
Back in Goettingen. On the train some work on KG and some work on hi-z clusters ... more things running over night.
Next post will be from Brazil. We're going on sunday, half work (collaborations), half vacations. Lot's of good things to happen.
