Up early for a day in the underground lab! Oh, look ... snow! (and an Alberta Clipper that might create some blizzard conditions) https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/ed22fdab8f9b3dfa9b0ef927aada9ed86f1270196d28280466486d21e63ac556/view -

The living room is indeed getting there! Today's big chore was getting the couch up the stairs. Once the bookshelves are built downstairs we will finally have homes for all our books. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/8a89af7972e701de035917b9f67cbc6e2ac2f6498f3df72c162b073328f7b411/view -

A mission to Uranus would require a 12-year journey time just to get the instrument from Earth to its destination. I like the point made early in the interview: (paraphrasing) “The graduate students who become involved in such a mission today will be its leaders by the time it begins its survey of the planet.” “Earth’s Hidden Hydrogen and a Trip to Uranus” (Science Magazine Weekly Podcast) https://www. science.org/content/podcast/ea rth-s-hidden-hydrogen-and-trip-uranus -

Had a pretty nice day chorin' and working on the book Jodi and I are co-authoring. The book is in the second draft stage, headed toward final draft, technical review, and then publication. Today I dug into the concept of 'meters-water-equivalent, " where you put different underground labs on the same footing by translating their overburden to meter of water. This allows a fair comparison of labs at various depths but different rock compositions above them. https:// en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meter_ water_equivalent https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/ed45219108b549a16fab3accae5fffdd400857342f8511d50bddbcf8abe78c68/view In conversation from chirp.cooleysekula.net permalink -
