Well, I thoroughly enjoyed day 1 of #dotdotastro, our attempt to take #dotastro's mercurial blend of discussion and thought online. Thanks to everyone who participated!
Yay! I had an awesome first day at #dotdotAstro/@dotastronomy! It's my first conference with "unconference" sessions and they're such an amazing way to further discussions from talks and make everything more interactive.
Day One of #dotdotastro is complete! The format lends itself quite well to the online world, and I'm happy that the changes we've made make it better than just an online version. Day two is in two days. Day three is in 9 days. Simple!
Thanks to the chaos of Covid-19 there are actually a handful a small handful of spaces free at this event. Email rob@dotastronomy.com if you're interested in joining us.
We are committed to #dotastro being a safe space for discussion about racism and inequities in our community, and for working together on strategies and solutions: dotastronomy.com
This wasn't an easy decision, but I'm sure you'll not be surprised. We have spoken with the lovely folks at ESAC and they are confident that we can find new dates for next year.

Working with @TheNStarman, we built a #dotAstro outreach program geared toward rural teens (often predisposed to working with their hands) to look at Galactic structure (and the underlying dark matter distribution) through home demo and renovation.
Lauren Corlies @LSST #EPO talks about how we can figure out audience "personas" as a way for effective outreach! Such a great idea, for outreach, where it is usually so hard to evaluate things!
