On being an Astronomer and a Mother. Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Presented at the last AAS meeting shows that 60% of female astronomers suffer from impostor syndrome, the (unjustified) "fear of being exposed by colleagues for a lack of knowledge or ability". In comparison, 47% of male astronomers say they suffer from this. Since these fears could be a factor leading people away from astronomy, it may be one of the many things explaining why so few women make it all the way. So let's make a first baby step he...

30 May 2011 in art. Tags: American Astronomical Society. A little astro art for today: as part of my analysis of stellar orbits of ultracool subdwarfs (presented at the 214th American Astronomical Society meeting. In Pasadena, CA), I decided to try computing and visualizing the orbits of nearly 500 L-type dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Based on kinematic data produced by Sarah Schmidt. 8211; you know, just for fun. Some of the other winners can be seen here. Who knew celestial mechanics...

The Women in Planetary Science. And Women in Astronomy. Blogs have some great resources and advice on careers, opportunities and life in general, which are definitely worth a look, even if you're neither a woman nor a planetary scientist or astronomer! I particularly like the 51 Women in Planetary Science interviews. And the "Astronomer to." Career Profiles. Is a great place to go for the latest news on space exploration. The site hosts some interesting blogs. A pretty decent radio show.

I mean really, how could I resist? So, yeah, I bou...
