I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed the extra long break we had. Registration for most of you is over at this point, but if you're still having problems getting into classes let me know.
Meet with John Mather: Next Thursday, the Department is hosting John Mather, a Nobel Prize winner in Physics (2006) and the Project Scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope. There will be a special undergraduate meeting with Dr. Mather on Thursday, December 9 at 2:30pm in Phys/Astr C520. Snacks will be provided and you are all encouraged to attend!
Research Experiences/Internships: Many of you attended the NASA Internship session a few weeks ago and have more questions about other opportunities. More research experiences and internships are listed on the following page: http://staff.washington.edu/sterrs/links.htm Note that many deadlines for the internships are in January and February so this is a great time to be thinking about which ones you might apply to.
Graduate School Applications: For those applying to graduate schools right now, don't forget that now is the time you should be finalizing your list (if you haven't already) and giving lists to your letter writers of where you're applying, deadlines, how to submit letters, etc. Check out more tips and recommendations on the Grad School Wiki page: http://librarian.phys.washington.edu/astro/index.php/Grad_School (accessible with an account or when you're on a computer in the astro lab). There are also some great testimonials from our current graduate students about alternative pathways to the PhD!
Astrobiology Seminar: Today (Tuesday) at 2:30pm in Phys/Astr A118, Colin Goldblatt (UW) will give a talk on "Early Earth Nitrogen: Geosphere-biosphere-climate interactions.
Colloquium: This week at 4pm in Phys/Astr A102, Amber Straughn (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) will give a talk on "HST WFC3 Early Release Science: Emission Line Galaxies from IR Grism Observations". Join us at 3:45pm in the foyer for coffee, tea and cookies.

Have a great week!
