Congratulations Ian!
I'm sure it was also a reflection of your dedication and willingness to share our knowledge of the Universe to mainstream society. A lot of us forget where we are exactly,and we astronomers, curators of the oldest science, put us in the bigger picture!
I think it's not only a win for you personally but for astronomy outreach as well!

Cheers!
Have a Merry Christmas!
