Galaxy Zoo Talk

Galaxy Zoo LIVE Online Hangouts!

  • vrooje by vrooje admin, scientist

    The Galaxy Zoo science team is so spread out that we only rarely have the opportunity to hang out, even though we have a great time -- and talk great science -- when we actually do chat. So we've recently started having regular online hangouts, during which we talk mostly science with a bit of random banter (and often a lot of laughter) thrown in. We currently use Google Plus to do this, which means that we also live-broadcast the hangouts from G+ and from the Galaxy Zoo blog. We try to balance our time between answering questions from volunteers (often also posted to Facebook and/or Twitter) and discussing the latest science results from Galaxy Zoo and beyond.

    After the hangout is over, we keep it on YouTube so that anyone can watch it later, and we also extract the audio and release that as a podcast. For the most updated information you can always check the blog, but from now on I'll be updating this post with the date of the next Hangout too, so you can watch us live (and use the Jargon Gong on us)!

    In the meantime, here's the link to our most recent Hangout, and here's the link to subscribe to the podcast via iTunes or Feedburner. Hope to "see" you there sometime!

    Thanks,
    -Brooke

    The next hangout is on Wednesday, April 10th, at 8 pm GMT. We'll embed the video feed on the blog shortly before we start, so that's probably the best place to check -- and also please feel free to write questions/comments here or there!

    Update: you can view the video and read a summary of the hangout on the GZ Blog: Two Atoms Populate on a Dust Grain
