Astronomers need to keep the following three points in mind while they discuss options for the 2020s and beyond: 1) "Recognize that size matters," 2) "Plan internationally," and 3) "Think long-term." In addition to the three points and key, astronomers and universities need 1/4
to be far-sighted, strategic and responsive. Science, not economics, must come first. And the outcomes must meet the needs of future researchers: today’s postdocs and PhD students, not just those sitting at National Academy tables. To quote Michelangelo, “The greater danger 2/4
for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” I would also include semiconductor manufacturers and services leading quantum technology research and development, citizen science and 3/4
Excited about ““Single Photon Visible Light Image Sensors for Science and Technology” based on #sensors startups <eg @EricRFossum @Gigajot> working on #imaging. Look forward to use cases as result of @ESO MUSE being adapted to clinical settings. HT @ATTRACTEU cc @UnistellarOptics
Getting closer to David Marr's dream of a singular vision science <https://t.co/CC0Y3ckj04,> HT @SCSatCMU@CMU_DietrichHSS@fordhampsych. Check out BOLD5000 @ https://t.co/Wlpm3cLMHr, datasets & study of human #vision to better reflect modern computer vision methods. #HCI#UX#UI
Easy to dismiss connected rigid & sturdy mount <high-quality polar-alignment; motors on both the right ascension & declination axes.> Quality of mount is related to quality assurance in manufacturing. See @UnistellarScope prototype mount in action. #Unistellar#citizenscience 2/3
At the same time, easy to overlook latency, the latency between @UnistellarScope beta mobile app and prototype connected rigid & sturdy mount is > 1 second &/ or 1 to 3 seconds even when operating in a crowded space with more than 4 wifi networks operating. See attached demo. 3/3

The teams also examined synapses across the layers of the mouse cortex. Here are dendritic spines in a small part of this dataset, with z-depth shown as a color code. 3/5
We also mapped, throughout the fly brain, dopaminergic neurons and synapses. Here is a 3-D micrograph, color coded by depth, of dopaminergic neurons that innervate or pass through the ellipsoidal body in the brain of a fruit fly, extracted from a data set of the whole brain. 4/5
Our friend, Karin Johansson, is investigating how Smartfins successfully engage surfers in citizen science for her Master’s degree The University of Exeter.

As we are finishing industrial design, a new kind of popular astronomy is coming for good. Therefore, @UnistellarScope will be closing its crowdfunding campaign on December the 5th. To celebrate that step forward, we offer a special discount of -30%.
