Quote by Steven Magee

“A particular team of world leading male astronomers that I regularly worked with engaged in extensive sordid conversations about their female counterparts that I had not witnessed in the many other astronomy teams. It was unique to their group. What was also unique to their group was the intensive all night long computer work. It was so intense that getting rest room breaks during the night was always a problem.”

“I moved from the day shift to the extreme night shift because I knew that they had a better acclimatization of a few hours at 9,200 feet, as opposed to the ridiculous half hour at 9,200 feet for the day shift. There was only one acclimatization from near sea level to 9,200 feet per week for the night shift workers, as they lived on the mountain for the duration of their shifts.”
