Life as a Physicist

Lately I’ve been getting science funding updates from an organization calling itself ASTRA (www.aboutastra.org and www.usinnovation.org). What do people know of this organization? Is it on the up-and-up? While the data on it seems focused at science, in the email all links are redirected through “http://x.jtrk12.net/” — which seems a bit suspicious – claims “this domain is used as part of a tracking mechanism in an e-mail marketing application”. Which means they are tracking to see if you clicked on their links in the email. Which makes me take a dim view. Anyone know?
