Today I finally have good news! I have accepted a postdoctoral research position at the University of Iowa, where I will be one of two postdocs working with Dr. David Nataf, investigating the population of variable stars.
Email with informal job offer. Text: Dear Henry Prager, Cc: Chris Crawford (HR Manager, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences), I was impressed with both your application and your interview, and I would like to offer you a postdoctoral position at the University of Iowa. You would be funded for at least two years, with the third year being contingent on funding and progress. The aim would be for you to spend approximately half of your time continuing your current research program, and the other half expanding your program for greater alignment with my own research efforts in observations of variable stars, as well as helping mentor students. Confirmation of formal application. Text: Thank you for expressing an interest in the University of Iowa! We have received your application for 2 POSTDOC OPENINGS - STELLAR/GALACTIC ASTROPHYSICS(4329) To review this application or others you have submitted, login to jobs.uiowa.edu We are comparing your background and experience to our current staffing requirements.

Who ordered the gas leak in the middle of December? The corgis have the right idea.
Two corgis, one a black headed tri color and the other a red headed tri color. The first is lounging next to a chair, the second next to a large bed. They are both enjoying the warmth of a space heater.

Maple and Buster may not have gotten turkey this year, but some beef especially for them seems to have been a good substitute. Happy Thanksgiving!

Looking back from work to realize that apparently my dogs have fallen in love with each other.
2 corgis, one red-headed tri-color female and one black-headed tri-color male. They are laying on a hardwood floor, staring longingly and unflinchingly into each other's eyes.

Happy #InternationalDogDay to Maple and Buster. We had rain this afternoon, but we were still able to make it out for a walk and some extra time at the park.
