Since the stars are near 1 solar mass and each has <10d orbital period, I think pairs should be nearer than Mercury to our sun which has 88d period. Then the paper gives the separations of the systems as 18AU for the inner quadruple and

Kinda absurd. You can setup a one time email, and one time facebook if you really want to segregate. Sure you win on principle, but that's just the same as losing.

I only zone out in meetings with no focus. Provide an agenda which describes what you want to talk about. This helps me identify my value and not begin to immediately wonder how long this aimless meeting will last. Describe the problem this

I believe we are alone in Milky Way. Self assembling replicators from some civilization should have colonized and cataloged every star system over billion year time scales. It's inconceivable that no intelligent space faring civilizati

How much of the leading edge of astronomy is ground based, vs space based? Are they complementary or is space based going to eventually assume any and all roles ground based could?

I dunno about best, but History of Rome podcast is excellent if you like podcasts as a format. Covers 750bc up to 450ad. The coverage of punic wars, late republic, early empire, crisis of the third century are my favorite arcs.

If most anonymous speech were like The Federalist Papers then I would agree. I think the mean-value of anonymous speech is either zero or negative. I'm aware this is a feeling and not something I can prove.
