Abstract

Hello, Jason here.

I'm an astronomer at the University of Arizona, studying star formation and stellar populations in nearby galaxies, particularly in the Magellanic Clouds.

This blog will serve as a journal of my research activities, and commentary on developments in science (not only in astronomy; I am also interested in other areas of physics, evolutionary biology and many other fields). I will try not to talk about politics this time, unless it intersects with the world of science.

I really enjoy being an astronomer. I usually have three or four lines of research going at once, which is never boring, but it can be a challenge to make progress on all fronts. I'm hoping that by blogging frequently I can improve my discipline in this regard.

So, welcome, non-existent readers!
