I live near one of the observatories involved in the effort

yesterday I specifically went to one of the astronomy professors to talk about it

can you give us some more details? it sounds very interesting

on the name?

no, more like stuff he/they said and how he/they felt

well I didn't get a whole lot because it seemed like everyone was a little weirded out by how everything is blowing up in the media

they just seemed sad it was becoming such a political issue

and they just wanted it to be about science

oh yea

it would have been so much better if articles gave like a list of contributors, maybe some statements from the most important ones and just talked about the discovery for the remaining part

Heya, how is everyone this weekend?

I’m okay

Any plans?

Relaxing after exercising every evening this week

After my exercising, just seems like there's more to do xD

When I'm on my exercise bike, at least i can play games

Oh that's right it's the start of US spring break isn't it?

Yeah, I exercised pretty well this week as well. Day of rest here too.

_stirs pot_

Are you cooking something?

There are some people who make sexist comments or whatever, but the majority aren't out to deny she made any contribution, it's the fact this was seized on by the press and given massive amounts of credit eclipsing the rest of the team that people have a problem with, the kind of parading it around as a massive win for women or as a social issue

Yep
