Astronomycast Episode 471 Modern Sci-Fi for the Science

lover Part 3

Welcome to Astronomycast for weekly facts based journey through the cosmos.

We help you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know.

My name is Fraser Cain, I'm the publisher of University Day with me is Dr. Pamela Gay,

the Director of Technology and Citizen Science at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific,

and the Director of Cosmic Quest.

Hey Pamela, how you doing?

I'm doing well, how are you doing Fraser?

Great.

Is this going to be our final show of the year or are we going to do one more before the

New Year?

How are you feeling?

I think we can record next Friday, so it's the final edited recording of the year.

It is the penultimate episode of the year.

And there will be one more recording, but it will go out in the New Year.

Right.

Clearly, in our minds, we're already on holiday, so I apologize in advance.

But we've picked a topic that's going to get me completely riled up and furious, so

hopefully that will allow me to bring the energy to this episode while the nog is having

its effect on us all.

All right, so it's time to talk computers and how we're going to be dealing with them
