Day 2 at the 3rd Workshop of #ObservatoryNet: From the Mouth Wilson Observatory in Sheldon-land, to attempts at international collaboration between nations during the interwar era, to Charles Greeley Abbot's quest for the Solar Constant, we literally are up in the sky!🙂

[Observatory Networks @ObservatoryNet]

We are now exploring the local networks of @Obs_Paris from its foundation in the 17th century to the layer 19th in David Aubin’s keynote. Though in fact Paris had a whole host of observatories, located in this slide

Our third workshop kicks off tomorrow! Our paper sessions are available to online and in-person attendees, but I’m afraid that only the latter will get the tours of the old and the new @RoyalObs sites

[Observatory Networks @ObservatoryNet]

We're looking forward to workshop 1 next week and are grateful to all our speakers & participants. The programme starts with a discussion led by our advisory group Ileana Chinnici, Omar Nasim, Pedro Raposo & Simon Schaffer https://t.co/lhYtLABMz9 #histSTM #histsci #ObsNet1

Prof Hari Vasudevan tought us European & Russian History at Calcutta University many many years ago. Ran into him again at ORF Kolkata a few months back and chatted about foreign policy etc. Shocked to hear of his passing today. RIP.

At Surat station, bus loads of migrant workers being ferried to the platform to board trains home to Bihar. Each one speaks of how poorly the employer treated them. Across states its the same story. No wages, no work. Each one says to me: "We will never return"
