Our data suggest that the planet-forming process may be hardier than previously believed, occurring around even the most massive stars.

These planetary systems, if they do form and exist, are short lived because these massive stars explode as supernovae. So it's amazing that the raw material for planets could be found in such a hostile environment.

We've discovered a new class of object, and we need to use Spitzer to measure the infrared spectra of a lot more of these objects to learn how unique they really are.

On the other hand, we can't really predict the future of these systems with much certainty.

In general, unions can be very powerful. But it's up to the workers to decide if that's what they want right now. I'm not saying we should definitely have a union — as a student, I'm helping to create an atmosphere where a union would be possible.

I hope that some people who do not consider themselves feminists will still attend some of the events and gain a better understanding of how issues that they might be interested in are also women's issues.
