October 15th-Day 10 of “The Commute”

Today was just like yesterday. Actually it was nicer weather; pretty sunny all day today and we had a great sunset yesterday, a nice sunrise today and a half-way decent sunset this evening.

I set up a stand-up desk! I’m not super enthused by the work-spaces in this room ; nothing is really a good height for typing nor for eating at, etc.

I’ve been trying to work and read papers and figure out how to organize my thesis. Concentrating is hard.

But the good news is that a paper just came out that I was looking forward to. It helps outline some of the predicted astrophysical transient signals expected in current and future CMB experiments. And just briefly looking at it makes me think we (SPT-3G) might have some interesting limits we can set by looking at our data and perhaps constrain some of the models they’re using and assumptions they’re assuming when estimating the energetics of these events.

Here’s a timelapse of the end of the sunset today.

Now I remember why it’s so hard to write these things when nothing changes day-to-day 😛
