Yes that is kind of what we did for #dotdotastro, I liked it. I like the “office hours” idea. I think we really have to re-design conferences to make them work virtually.

What we found worked quite well for #dotdotastro is to ask speakers to pre-record talks. We then played them in the talk session, and the speaker could join the discussion alongside (for which we used Slack). Ping me if you want to talk more about that!

Excellent work from this group, taking a closer look at the cost/benefit issue of satellite megaconstellations 👏 Sparked by @RocketToLulu’s talk at #dotdotastro and many subsequent conversations. Great stuff.

Satellite megaconstellations don't provide affordable internet access for those who need it most: our new research note is out! iopscience.iop.org/article/1… Thanks to my amazing co-authors: @mrawls @heidi_teaman @chmn_victor @mike_peel @yggrnge

A response to all who have raised concerns about prioritizing a "stargazing hobby" over internet access needs. Huge thanks to my amazing coauthors @heidi_teaman @chmn_victor @RocketToLulu @mike_peel @yggrnge #dotdotastro iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

How it started: How it's going:
ALT Full Blanco DECam focal frame with 62 CCDs with lots of stars and a purple background
ALT Similar to other image but with black background and more than 15 diagonal bright stripes due to satellite trails

We did prerecorded talks for #dotdotastro. We watched them together and speaker could answer question in parallel on slack, followed by more live discussion. I really liked it as a speaker - less stress, more focus on interesting discussions.

I do think (and we discussed this at #dotdotastro 2 wks ago) that a PhD student’s thesis should also never rely on a single result in that way. The supervisor has some responsibility there to make sure the students gets a good thesis regardless of unexpected shenanigans.

Unfortunately I think these arguments won’t stop big $$$ tech companies from being allowed to make more $$$ in space. had good disc at #dotdotastro about it which focused a lot on calling out the companies for a flawed business model & weaponising “good for humanity”

Thoroughly enjoyed #dotdotastro - the latest evolution of #dotastro. The online format worked well overall and I'm excited to improve on it in a future edition. Thanks for @chrislintott and @sarahkendrew for helping me make it happen - and to all our speakers and participants ❤️

I've just done my first ever recording of the flute for a #dotdotastro hack. Then for the reference I did a few of the regular pieces I use for practice. Well, while I came a long way in 3 months, I'm happy I'm not my housemates. Everything sounds so much better from the inside.

Really great to hear about this interesting work this week at #dotdotastro 👍 Living, working & providing services in countries with 10-20 indigenous languages is a big challenge in many African countries - but technology can help.

Walked down memory lane this week at Day2 of #dotdotastro to talk about the my first @DeepIndaba poster project in 2017 (😄I was so shy to put up A4 slides), and how important that is now for what we are doing at @MasakhaneNLP 🙂 Happy to be part of the #indabaSocial

So far #dotdotastro is everything I hoped it would be. Yesterday we formed the #dotastro band and spent the evening working on a musical hack - hoping we have a song or two to share by next week! @emilydoesastro @orbitingfrog @merrdiff @alexgagliano

when pre-recording a video talk at 10 pm, can one be bothered to go put on nice clothes and make-up?
that's rhetorical btw. #dotdotastro

Had so much at the #dotdotastro day2 today. Had a good laugh playing the card game notallbad.cards by @justyncw @alienelf might be worth it for our next @MasakhaneNLP or @DeepIndaba social :) totally fun🙂

Having so much at #dotdotastro filling out these cards. Finding myself consulting google for additional answers😂

At #dotdotastro we're trying to create an astronomers version of not all bad cards (think Cards against humanity). Contributions welcome: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
