@StephenUofGCM I feel your pain! I remember finding out I missed an amazing show one night, so I got the Aurora Watch app last year. You get alerts when it’s likely to be visible (although often you need to still look through your phone camera to see them)

US universities teach small talk to pandemic-hit students

These abilities are what help in the transition from education to employment especially for those with lower starting wellbeing
