Just trying out stuff on the new phone....
29-second limit, and not looking/sounding very good...
Probably not gonna use this to be staging a comeback... ;D
I am getting on the Facebook and Twitter thingies, too. Hopefully going to incorporate that as I get back to vlogging.

This bit stuck out to me, because I've been juggling various ideas about what exact degree(s) to get, and what general trajectory to set my long-term career on...
I'm looking at:
1) bachelor's degree in physics and/or astronomy
2) then if I do want to be say a high school science teacher, there are probably 3-5 ways I can slice how that works out
3) Getting a Phd: When? Before, during, or after a stint as a high school teacher? Skip the high school part and try to go on a tenure-track university position?
4) And yes, I am still very interested in running for some sort of public office, but probably not until a few decades from now, so that's a whole OTHER discussion...

Join James Peebles, one of the worlds foremost cosmologists, as he explores the universe. Like fossils, thermal radiation carries information about the past, in this case the nature of the early universe. This information has confirmed ideas about the expanding universe, and it has presented us with new challenges. In particular, dark matter and dark energy.
