The tourist map they gave us at #EAS2025 shows the location of a Dyke Parade... Disappointingly, it's a road rather than an event.

Farewell to #EAS2025
I'm on an early-morning train from Cork to Dublin, missing the final day of EAS 2025. I'd like to thank the organisers and all the contributors for an extremely successful meeting. Yesterday was another busy day yesterday, during which I attended - among other things - sessions on gravitational lensing and a plenary talk by Andy Fabian. After the scientific programme for the day was over, participants were bussed to…

Plenary talk by Andy Fabian on X-ray Astrophysics at #EAS2025 reminds me that, in my last year as an undergraduate at Cambridge, I attended a course by him on High-Energy Astrophysics. That was 40 years ago... 😬

Unsure of the etiquette on applauding a plenary talk when you're in a different room from the speaker watching the live feed on a remote screen. #EAS2025

Wednesday at #EAS2025 I spent most of today at the EAS 2025 sessions about Euclid. These were mainly about the Q1 data release I blogged about here, although there were some talks about what to expect about the first full data release (DR1), which is due towards the end of next year (2026), before…

Wednesday at #EAS2025
I spent most of today at the EAS 2025 sessions about Euclid. These were mainly about the Q1 data release I blogged about here, although there were some talks about what to expect about the first full data release (DR1), which is due towards the end of next year (2026), before I retire. There were three Euclid sessions, one in the morning and two in the afternoon; I'm writing this during the last of these.

The word "plenary" is derived from the Latin "plenus", meaning "full".
This explains why there are no free seats for the plenary session.

The Day at #EAS2025
Today was my first day at EAS 2025 on the nice campus of University College Cork. I managed to register before the first session and found my way around what is clearly a very well organised meeting. They have a very useful app to help attendees navigate both space and time. I spent a large part of today at a session about the future of scientific publishing, which was split in two, either side of the morning's plenary.

EAS 2025 in Cork
Tomorrow I’ll be travelling to the fine city of Cork, where I shall be for most of next week, attending the 2025 Annual Meeting of the European Astronomical Society I was planing to travel today, but I have some things to attend to at home tomorrow morning so I won’t get to Cork until late afternoon.
The EAS Annual Meeting is a very large meeting with well over a thousand participants expected. It is held each year in a different European city but, according to tradition, never a capital. Last year it was in Padova (Italy) and the year before that in Kraków (Poland).
I usually enjoy smaller-scale meetings and workshops over these mega-conferences, but I’m looking forward to this one. There will be a strong Maynooth contingent there but I also hope to see some old friends from elsewhere, as well as catching up on some exciting science results.
Talking of science, I am on the Scientific Organizing Committee for this meeting. The programme is very large and diverse and there were a few headaches on the way, but nothing compared to the logistical challenges facing the local organizers; they will probably reach peak stress levels ahead of the opening of the meeting, but I’m sure everything will go well. The Irish National Astronomy Meeting (INAM) was actually held in Cork in 2023. Although a much smaller meeting than EAS, the experience of running that will probably have helped the organizers.
I’m not actually giving a talk at EAS but I will be participating in a panel discussion in a special session on The Future of Scientific Publishing: Strategies and Challenges for Astronomy on Tuesday 24th June. When I saw the initial announcement for this special session, I was was concerned that it would be entirely dominated by representatives of the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics and their publisher EDP Sciences. The first session (9.00 to 10.30) titled “SCIENCE PUBLISHING TODAY AND TOMORROW” is still like that, but the panel discussion in the second session (13.15 to 14.45) “SCIENCE PUBLISHING: A COMMUNITY’S VIEW” is a bit more balanced than that, with a representatives of NASA/ADS and the European Southern Observatory (among others). If I’m given an opportunity to get a word in, I’ll be arguing that traditional journals are unnecessary and obsolete.
