The main idea of the movie Radio was that if you are kind to people and never give up on them, no matter how hard they are struggling, they can succeed.

four Perytons when I searched for non-repetitive, dispersed radio bursts in the archival Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey. The motivation was to understand this population better, including “Rotating Radio Transients” (RRATs), “Fast Radio Bursts” (FRBs) and “Perytons”. RRATs are radio pulsars which can be detected in single-pulse searches more easily than periodicity searches. It is now believed that these are extreme examples of the radio pulsar population, and their pulsed emissions are either…
