ASA 2012
The Astronomical Society of Australia held its Annual Scientific Meeting at UNSW's Kensington Campus in Sydney this week. It is always a good chance to catch up with old friends and colleagues, and this instalment was no exception. I was particularly pleased to see a strong showing from MoCA, including students Hauke Worpel, Sammanani (Shakya) Premachandra, and Nathanael Lampe, who all presented posters. Perhaps it is unreasonable of me to complain about having to compete with the announcement of the likely discovery of the Higgs boson which occurred during my talk — at least it should never happen again!
