Coffee is essential to human life, but at OSU Astronomy Department, coffee is also an important contributor to science. Gerard Williger will discuss two new ideas he has worked on resulting from OSU’s astro-ph coffee discussions. “Protecting Life in the Milky Way: Metals Keep the GRBs Away” is about the heavy element limits for stars undergoing massive explosions. “A Survey About Nothing: Monitoring a Million Supergiants for Failed Supernovae” concerns supernova verification.
