Astronomy committee meets to decide access to Australia's world-class telescopes
My last appearance on the
Australia Telescope Time Assignment Committee
surprisingly was accompanied by an
ABC News story
on the role and operation of the committee. I really enjoyed my time on the
TAC, despite the workload and deadlines; it's great to have such a broad
overview of how our community chooses to utilise the national resources
available to them. The other TAC members have been great fun to work with,
and the
ATNF
staff are always helpful and responsive. I may have even learned
a little about radio astronomy, although no proposals from me... yet!
