I used to! But permanent jobs are hard to come by in astronomy so I have since moved on to work in the medical technology industry.

I didn't realize you had left the field. Sorry to hear that. Dunno if you remember, but we observed together at the LBT a while back, for one of the MODS runs. I've enjoying seeing you and your comments around HN – you give quite good and thorough explanations.

Small world! You were at Virginia then, right? I'm glad you enjoyed my comments! I still feel like I haven't totally left the field yet since I just graduated in December and I've been working on finishing up a few projects in my spare time.

Yep! I was UVa until I defended in mid-2014. Since then I have been a postdoc in Chile.
Best of luck finishing up the astro projects. And have fun in the medical tech area – seems like there's lots of exciting things happening there!
