Slacker wins award

Slacker Astronomy founder and Tufts grad student Aaron Price has won a Chambliss Astronomy Achievement Student Award for his poster on BZ UMa.

I stopped by Aaron’s poster at AAS in St. Louis and he explained the work he presented while I grabbed it on video.

Here you go — enjoy!

  1. You realize of course that Aaron’s award goes against everything that is embodied in the word slacker. A more indicative poster would have had pizza stains on it, corrections in crayon, and would’ve been titled “Gettin’ BZ in UMa”

  2. Yeah, I know. We would have had to kick Aaron out of Slacker Astronomy if he hadn’t bowed out on his own. Too many accomplishments! Makes us look bad.

  3. Aaron, congratulations! Great explanation on the video, too.

    Thank you, Michael for catching that on video and sharing it.

    I disagree that Aaron could no longer be a Slacker Astronomer. Slackers know when to work hard and when to relax and not take themselves too seriously. Being a slacker is a state of mind.
