To begin the week, I worked from ACP, where I finally figured out what redshift range I should be constrained to in order to have the best chance of detecting Lyman-alpha and CIII] emissions.
Thoughts from the week: 1.) birthday punches are kind of a crazy tradition if you think about it, 2.) jump a fence, and it’ll sometimes jump you back, and 3.) if you’re planning a barbecue, you should probably be sure to check the grill’s propane sometime earlier than the hour before.
To begin the week, I worked from home (which brought very little progress on my code), and took a brief virtual meeting for my other job at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum here in DC.
It is with a heavy heart that I must declare Johnny and I’s undefeated spikeball streak to be over. It is also my pleasure to announce that the Celtics have brought the city of Boston it's first NBA title since 2008.
Picture this: you’re a child and someone has just turned the TV on. You begin watching as slick spies, Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez, tell the story of their forbidden love (featuring lots of explosions and fake mustaches).
Lessons of the week: STScI is way more important than I gave it credit for, I wish I had a boat, and networking is way easier when you run it as squads.
Big takeaways from the first week? I love DC summers, SPS is the best, and whoever lives in this building and can’t make popcorn without setting off the fire alarm needs to be evicted. Also I now know what reionization means if anyone was wondering.
