Comments on: Monster repeat http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/09/23/monster-repeat/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Riverside several years ago. Her findings were still quite new then and I expected some challenges from the assembled Profs and grads. The atmosphere seemed to be a bit more of 'well, we were expecting that. Wish I had thought to do the research'. I sat in on a presentation Dr. Andrea Ghez gave at U.C. Riverside several years ago.
