 I love the snow. Snow day. Been away from YouTube for a little while, I've been, I've been here. Snow day is the perfect analogy for what's going on in my life right now. I love the snow and it's utterly disruptive and grinds everything to a halt, which I also love about it. For the past couple weeks I've been hanging out at home doing life stuff, totally invested in families and it's been awesome and great. And today we woke up to five or six inches of snow outside. Since I moved up north of Seattle, we haven't had snow like this in the last couple years, so it's so exciting. My big plans today are to take my toddler outside. Scientifically, since double AS, it's been kind of relaxed. Emails, reports that are due or past due in a couple cases. I think 2019 is kind of a pivot point for me in my career. I'm not applying for jobs, I'm not moving any, I'm not starting anything new. This year I'm just going to be working on the things that I want to do. I think I'm going to sweep my car off. It's not been totally dormant scientifically. Several student papers have moved forward, including a paper about massive stars with tests by Trevor Dornwall and Steve, which I'm really excited about. And a really sick paper by Brett Morris. I'm creating a synthetic light curve of the sun that we can compare to Kepler and Tess based on historic data from the sun. Really, really cool paper, really cool project. Also, Tess Sector 3 data just came out last week, so I've been downloading that. I've got code running today. It's the Wild West. These are stars that have never been studied like this before, so everything we find is new. And then for the rest of the time I've just been trying to deal with burnout. Running up to AAAS and life. And trying to just be present here with my family. Enjoying this snow. It gets cold out there. Science-wise I think my 2019 looks very Tess heavy. Data keeps coming out. We're now into Sector 3 of 13 sectors for the first year and pretty soon we'll have proposals due, so later this month I'll be writing proposals for Tess, for new science, new targets to chase. And then throughout now, year 2, I'd like to keep shooting this astro vlog. Keep showcasing what it's like to be a professional astronomer in America. This channel isn't about my life. Today I'm working from home, it's a snow day, so I'm home with my kids. This channel isn't about showing every facet and detail of my life. This is about astronomy and science and being a scientist. And in 2019, that's what I want to focus on. I have really enjoyed making these videos and putting out these vlogs, bringing my camera around when I go on adventures. It's been really rewarding for me. I have loved movies and films that I was a little kid, so to find something that I can talk about and get to practice this art form a little bit has been super engaging and rewarding for me. So thank you to everyone who has made this channel a success so far, who has come along with me on this journey. And I will see you again soon. But now I'm going to go play in the snow.
