For my CV, I like to include a table of citation metrics from multiple sources (currently Google Scholar, ADS and Web of Science). Updating these manually, however, is torturous, and feels like something that should be trivially automatable. I recently
An Aural Experiment
Every year or so, I update my ‘history of exoplanet exploration’ animation, which shows the detections of exoplanets in (roughly) the order of their discovery by plotting the host star locations in sequence. This year, I decided that I wanted
