    Nice to see him make good use of his degree. I always thought it was cool that there are two major British bands- Queen and Dare- with Astrophysicists in them.

          A cursory search, which I ran before I commented, didn’t reveal that fact for me.

          Mere charting isn’t a great measure, though, since plenty of ephemeral trash has done so as well.

      In October 2006, May re-registered for his doctorate at Imperial College, and he submitted his thesis in August 2007

      the revised thesis (titled “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud”)[1] was approved in September 2007, some 37 years after it had been commenced

      In 2020, he participated in the team that contributed the stereography images of numerical simulations of asteroid disruptions and re-accumulations in a publication in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications

      It actually sounds like he’s pretty busy with the science these days.
