Phew.

That's over and done with. It went fine. The person who spoke before me (lunch talks are split here, so that they are more informal than most...) had a hard time. He had to defend both his data and his method. Fortunately, I got to present what I'm GOING to do. That's easier. And more fun!

In other news, I've been unable to reproduce my weird results on the nebula in the old software. I have one more thing I want to try before I let it go. It's possible that during the 'cleaning' process, I invented the extended emission. So I'm going to go back and redo it in the new software. That's science for ya---sometimes exciting results just... poof!... evaporate.
