I hope you were all able to get out and enjoy some of the sun we had this weekend. Here are some things to keep in mind this week.
Colloquium: This Thursday at 4pm in Phys/Astr A102, Crystal Brogan (NRAO) will give a talk on "Searching for the Secrets of Massive Star Birth". Join us at 3:45pm for coffee, tea and cookies in the foyer.
Astr 322 winter 2009: We have a large number of students taking Astr 322 this winter and are considering switching to a larger room. If you have not registered for the course, but intended to, please send me an email and I can help get you registered (you will need an add code). Also, I wanted to clarify that this course is on stars, not galaxies as stated in my previous email.
REUs: Now is the time to consider applying for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). Browse through the REU list here: http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/list_result.cfm?unitid=5045. Most deadlines fall in January or February, but double check with each program you are interested in.
Undergraduate Research Conference Travel Awards: Did you know you could receive funding to travel to a professional conference and present your research? Applications for this award are taken on a continuing basis and need to be submitted at least 3 weeks before departure. The application typically includes unofficial transcripts, letter of recommendation from your research mentor, short statement of importance of research, research abstract and a brief budget.
