We have been having some great weather and I hope you have been able to get out and enjoy some of it! Here are some things to keep in mind this week:
* CDO Networking Day Oct 29-30: You may have seen these fliers in the elevators for the CDO Physics and Astronomy Networking Day. Networking Day has can be a great way to meet representatives from the industry (Siemens, Los Alamos National Lab, Intel, Lawrence Livermore National Lab and more) as well as listen to student research projects, have lunch, and attend lab tours. Note: the employer meeting will take place on Oct. 29 5:30-9pm in Phys/Astr C520 and the student research portion on Oct. 30 from 8:30-5:30pm in the HUB 106B. Please see the CDO website for details: http://students.washington.edu/cdophys/ND/index.shtml.
* Summer internship info sessions: On Nov. 24, Washington NASA Space Grant will hold an information session on summer internships at NASA Centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and our local industry partners. Student interns are being recruited for these internships from all fields of science,
technology, engineering and math.
WHEN: 3:30-5 p.m. Nov. 24
WHERE: More Hall Room 220 from 3:30-5pm.
Former interns will talk about their experiences and offer insights into the application and interview process. Internships opportunities are located throughout the United State. Applicants must be US citizens. Snacks will be provided.
* UK Undergrad Research School Dec. 15-19: There is a great opportunity for junior/senior level undergraduates interested in astrophysical research. The Royal Astronomical Society and University of Central Lancashire are offering this as a fully funded (accommodation, meals and UK travel) school that includes research talks and activities as well as discussion of research study and career prospects and advice. The application deadline is November 12. Information is available at http://www.star.uclan.ac.uk/researchschool/. I encourage anyone interested to apply.
* Colloquium: This Thursday, Miller Goss (VLA, NRAO) will give a talk on "Very Long Baseline Array Observations of Pulsars: Distances and Proper Motions". The talk is at 4pm in Phys/Astr A102. Coffee, tea and cookies will be served at 3:45pm the foyer. Everyone is welcome to attend.
