The astronomer who paid dearly for dissing Carl Sagan settled in at new U

Refurbishing the observatory

I asked young astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez how things were going, after Iowa State University rejected his tenure in a case that stank to high heaven.

He replied,

Things are going well. I've started an astronomy minor program here at Grove City College and the refurbishment of the college's new (old) observatory is essentially done. Here's our observatory web page.


While it is more difficult to find the time to do research here, I have managed to squeeze out a few papers (2 in 2010).

Remember that, folks. Trolls and their lackeys don't run the world (yet). You can still get in some good research and avoid their odious claptrap.
