American Association of Variable Star Observers
From Slackerpedia Galactica
The American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) is a non-profit worldwide scientific and educational organization of amateur and professional astronomers who are interested in stars that change in brightness — variable stars.
Aaron Price, Travis Searle and Rebekah Turner all work for the AAVSO, which tends to suggest that the AAVSO might be a bunch of slackers.
