Corrigendum: “Gender Systematics in the NRAO Proposal Review System”(2021, PASP, 133, 115002)
In Hunt et al., we used the Anderson–Darling (AD) two-sample test to evaluate the probability that the observed linear rank distributions for female and male principal investigators are from the same parent sample. We determined the nominal AD p -value, ρ AD ( x , y ), where x and y are the female and male linear ranks, and estimated the uncertainty by calculating the mean and 68% confidence intervals from the AD p -value bootstrapped distributions, ρ AD boot . Since the p -value is a measure of probability, and the distribution of p -values is uniform, this method is not appropriate. Here we calculate ρ AD boot as the proportion of bootstrapped AD test statistics that are greater than or equal to the nominal AD test statistic. We find that the nominal and bootstrapped AD p -values are similar and therefore we do not recommend any changes to the conclusions in Hunt et al.

INAF Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory at 150
On 26 September 2019, the 150th anniversary of the first inauguration of the Observatory was celebrated at the Teatro del Cielo of the INAF- Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory. This article reconstructs the highlights of the event, which was attended by numerous representatives of political and scientific institutions. Following the welcome addresses of the institutional figures, the event focused on the inaugural speech given in 1869 by the Observatory’s founder and first director, Giovan Battista Donati.

The secret agent : authoritative text, contexts, criticism
\"Set in London in 1886, The Secret Agent tells the story of Mr. Verloc, an agent provocateur for a mysterious foreign power. When Mr. Verloc is charged with bombing the Greenwich Observatory, his carefully crafted life unravels before his eyes. This Norton Critical Edition is based on the text of the first English book edition published in 1907. The text comes paired with explanatory footnotes and an introduction by the editor. \"Contexts\" includes a wide range of contemporary reviews of the novel, Conrad's short story \"The Informer,\" and further reading on anarchism and fin de siecle culture. \"Criticism\" compiles a range of approaches to studying the novel that spans from the late twentieth century to the present. Selections from Ian Watt, Terry Eagleton, Martin Ray, Hugh Epstein, Gail Fincham, Jacques Berthoud, Peter Mallios, and Michael Newton examine the novel through literary and political lenses that relate the work to the modern day. A Selected Bibliography is also included.\"-- Provided by publisher
