Hello,
Spring seems like it has finally arrived! Remember that April 18 is the last day to add a class for those of you still wanting to add a research credit be sure to get the pink research form from me soon!
Undergraduate Trip to Brewster, WA: Want to see a part of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA- http://www.vlba.nrao.edu/ ) here in Washington? A small group of astro undergrads will be taking a trip to Brewster, WA on Saturday, April 24 to view the VLBA and take a tour. The group will meet leave the Phys/Astr Bldg loading dock at 8:30am and return around 8pm. You're invited to join on a seat-available basis so if you're interested send an email to Prof. Bruce Balick (balick@astro.washington.edu). You'll want to bring clothing for cool windy weather, sunglasses, non-slip shoes with soft soles, camera, $$ for lunch, dinner along the way, water bottle, and snacks. The Department will cover the cost of the van and gas.
Last day to apply for graduation: If you are planning to graduate this quarter and have not filled out a graduation application you must do so by this Friday, April 16. Please see me asap!

Friday at 2pm in C341, Ellie Hadjiyska (UC Santa Barbara) will give a talk on "Transient Optical Sky Survey: System Analysis and Initial Results".
