Dr Bovy

It is with great pleasure that I announce the membership of Jo Bovy in the community of scholars! He gave a nice summary of his dissertation—trimmed to the one-third of his remarkable publication list that was about dynamics in the Galaxy—and spoke about the future, which looks pretty interesting. He showed his remarkable results on the Milky Way disk velocity-space substructure, and he showed that we will learn a lot about the dynamics of the Milky Way disk from the APOGEE survey, even in the first few nights!
