March 30, 2009

Welcome to spring quarter! It doesn't quite feel like spring but hopefully it's just around the corner. Here are some things to keep in mind this week.

Registration: You have until April 5 to change your course schedule on MyUW without incurring any fees or tuition forfeiture. Let me know if you're having any registration problems.

Research Form: If you are registering (or have already registered) for Astr 499, undergrad research you need to fill out a form and have your research adviser sign it. Please pick up a form in the Astronomy front office.

Building Permits: Remember that you need building permits if you have keys and will be in the computer lab after hours or on weekends. Please stop by the front office to pick yours up.

Astrobiology Seminar: Tuesday at 2:30pm in Phys/Astr A118, Radu Popa (Portland State Univ) will give a talk on "Xenobiology- The non-Earth-centric quest for the origin of life".

Astro Colloquium: This Thursday at 4pm in Phys/Astr A102, Rory Barnes (UW) will give a talk on "Packed Planetary Systems". Join us at 3:45pm in the foyer for coffee, tea and cookies.

Have a great first week back!

Best,
Sarah
