55 Years of Pulsar Research

Abstract

I commenced as a post-doc at Parkes on February 12, 1968, just 12 days before the Hewish et al. publication of the discovery of the first-known pulsar, CP1919. I witnessed the first Parkes observation of CP1919 on March 22 and my career has been dominated by the study of pulsars ever since. I continue to find them fascinating, with completely unexpected discoveries about their properties often surprising us.
