In an all-talk day, I talked with Lang about next steps on our various slowly moving projects; I talked with Sjoert van Velzen (Amsterdam) and Foreman-Mackey about large surveys; I talked with Fadely yet again about the scope for paper zero on classification. This was a highlight: This time I think we have done it! The scope will be showing that hierarchical beats likelihood tests no matter how bad the models. In the afternoon, Nissanke (Caltech) gave a seminar about gravitational radiation detection, particularly in the light of coincident electromagnetic signals. At the end, discussion devolved into the insane data-secrecy policies of LIGO, which I abhor. Occupy LIGO!
