Hi everyone! Thanks to all who attended the quarterly meeting last week. We talked about upcoming classes to be aware of, graduate school and research opportunities. We'll have another meeting sometime mid-winter quarter.
Physics/Astronomy Networking Days: Many of you have seen the flyers in the building about the Career Development Organization Networking Days Nov. 17-18. I strong encourage anyone graduating this year to attend the networking days this year. Networking day is your opportunity to learn about industry jobs and potentially scout out your future employer! The companies attending are specifically hiring Physics and Astronomy students so bring your resumes! Details including a schedule of events can be found here: http://students.washington.edu/cdophys/ND/
Art course of interest to Astronomy: ART 361 "Black Holes, Grey Matter and White Cubes: Visualizing Science". This winter quarter class meets M, W 2:30-5:20 and is 5 credits. The instructor recommends that you have an advanced background in visual arts, drama, music, dance or DXArts. This studio art course considers the artistic possibilites of scientific instruments and representation, introducing both historical perspectives and current imaging and recording systems. Content will be presented via field trips, presentations, visiting lecturers, discussion and critique. Participation will include reading, writing, oral presentation, discussion and artistic outcomes in a range of potential formats. For more info, contact Rebecca Cummins at rcummins@uw.edu.
NASA Space Grant Internship Info Session: Don't forget this Friday from 2:30-4pm in MGH 389 is the NASA Internship information session. Go learn about paid internships at NASA facilities.

Today at 12:30pm in B356A (the reading room), Jarron Leisenring (Univ. of Virginia) will give a talk on "Mid-Infrared Variability of T Tauri Stars." Tomorrow at Noon in the same room, Richard Coffey (UW Director of Physics/Astronomy Computing Services - PACS) will give a talk on the current status and future plans of computing in our Department. Feel free to bring your lunch to either of these great talks!
Colloquium: This Thursday at 4pm in Phys/Astr A102, Falk Herwig (Univ. of Victoria) will give a talk on "Simulations of the Origin of the Elements". Join us at 3:45pm in the foyer for coffee, tea and cookies.
Have an excellent week!
