My contribution to environmental destruction and global warming.


I am an astronomer working at the Space Science Institute (SSI).  SSI is located in Boulder, CO, and I live and work in Madison, WI.   I also work with several people at the University of Wisconsin.
 

Research

YSO model grid (20,000 models!  * 10 viewing angles * 50 apertures = 10 million SEDs)

Monte Carlo radiation transfer codes available here.

GLIMPSE, an infrared survey of our Galactic Plane

SAGE, an infrared survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Refereed publication list from the Astrophysics Data System

Non-work stuff

the plane

Southwest flying trip 2003

Alaska flying trip 2004

the plane crash 2005

Going vegan (2005)

And now I'm thinking of giving up the plane.  Do you think it's because I'm a vegan?  or maybe the yoga has relaxed me too much and I don't want the stress of flying anymore.   There are a few yoga poses that remind me of flying and they are much less expensive though the view isn't as good.
