Cork's hurlers obviously benefited from the tips I passed on while I was down there at #EAS2025

A Stiff Ticket
I got this – an example of what my Dad used to call a “Stiff Ticket” – via email today.
I suppose I’m supposed to show it to my superiors to prove that I wasn’t just on holiday in Cork last week. I think I’ll print it out and put in on the wall of my office, alongside the certificate for my Cycling Proficiency Award (Bronze).
The tourist map they gave us at #EAS2025 shows the location of a Dyke Parade... Disappointingly, it's a road rather than an event.
I see that, coincidentally for #EAS2025, the featured soccer match on TV this evening is Cork City v St Patrick’s Athletic...
Always feels nice to be mentioned in a conference. #eas2025 Nice to say our work arxiv.org/abs/2308.07368 has people’s attention (in this case, the director of IRAM).

Farewell to #EAS2025
I'm on an early-morning train from Cork to Dublin, missing the final day of EAS 2025. I'd like to thank the organisers and all the contributors for an extremely successful meeting. Yesterday was another busy day yesterday, during which I attended - among other things - sessions on gravitational lensing and a plenary talk by Andy Fabian. After the scientific programme for the day was over, participants were bussed to…
On an early train back to Dublin from Cork. Farewell to #EAS2025! Thanks to the organizers and the contributors for such an excellent meeting!

Plenary talk by Andy Fabian on X-ray Astrophysics at #EAS2025 reminds me that, in my last year as an undergraduate at Cambridge, I attended a course by him on High-Energy Astrophysics. That was 40 years ago... 😬
Unsure of the etiquette on applauding a plenary talk when you're in a different room from the speaker watching the live feed on a remote screen. #EAS2025
And one more. Folks with Indian citizenship, folks from South Africa - all great scientists of different levels who got talks in highly oversubscribed sessions and cannot presenr their work (or only in a recorded talk, with no real interaction). This is freaking unfair.
In our one day (3x90 min) splinter alone 3 speakers were affected!
Turning into a big fan of a younger colleague: I've seen two invited talks by them within 24h, one in a specialised session on their area, another in a session where they were the "outsider", bringing their area to a community that does not directly work on it. Two very different talks - different focus, different level, different depth, clear connection to topics relevant for the audience and splinter topic. Wow!
Level of conference tiredness: forgot my glasses, have to sit in the second row to be able to see the slides 😬
I'm starting today at #EAS2025 at the session on gravitational lensing.
Wednesday at #EAS2025
I spent most of today at the EAS 2025 sessions about Euclid. These were mainly about the Q1 data release I blogged about here, although there were some talks about what to expect about the first full data release (DR1), which is due towards the end of next year (2026), before…

I spent most of today at the EAS 2025 sessions about Euclid. These were mainly about the Q1 data release I blogged about here, although there were some talks about what to expect about the first full data release (DR1), which is due towards the end of next year (2026), before I retire. There were three Euclid sessions, one in the morning and two in the afternoon; I'm writing this during the last of these.
