IFAS Astronomer of the Year 2007

Congratulations Deirdre. It is a well deserved award.

I voted by email after the deadline so it wasn't counted (normal delivery cycle for me, my boss would say) but I did vote for you. Honest!!!

Congrats Dee - and very well deserved!

I trust you'll be writing your acceptance speech... in crayon!

I must move to Ireland!

You off your trolley ! :lol: :lol:

Well done Deirdre. I was not surprised you got the top vote. John Murphy summed it up so well.

I think that not only is the IAS so lucky to have you popularising and initiating all these outreach activities, but the Irish astronomy community has embraced so much of your endeavours that we are all proud of you.

Yay! Seanie didn't win!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Dee! I'm absolutely delighted for you! Thoroughly deserved accolade!
And you can definitely commandeer my scope at Galway and Cosmos!

Deirdre - anyone who does public outreach to the extent that you do (and for charity) and shares their beautiful sketches of the night sky richly deserves this accolade.

However... what topped it for me was your scale model of Sputnik with attendant sound recording - top drawer.

Warmest congratulations.
