Hi everyone! Welcome to the second week of classes! We will hold the spring quarter undergrad meeting on Tuesday, April 19 at 4pm in Phys/Astr A216. Please join us!
Building Use Permits: Don't forget to pick up your spring quarter building permit if you have building keys or are here after hours. UW Police will ask you for these permits during their patrols; without the permit your keys will be revoked and you will be escorted out the building. If I am not at my desk, feel free to grab your permit from the stack I keep by my monitor.
Undergrad Photos: I'm sure you have all be wondering, how do I get on that fancy undergraduate photo board on the 3rd floor? Well now is your chance! Email me a photo of yourself and we'll post it.
Summer Quarter Registration: Begins April 18! Come see me if you're not sure what you're going to take this summer. Be sure to recheck courses since some physics courses have been changed around.
McNair Scholar: The McNair Scholars Program prepares undergraduates for doctoral study through involvement in research and scholarly activities (including a $2,800 research stipend. For more information and eligibility requirements please see: http://depts.washington.edu/uwmcnair/index.htm. The deadline has been extended to April 15!
Undergrad Research Symposium Workshops: Are you participating in the undergrad research symposium? If so, check out some of the workshops to help you design your poster (http://www.washington.edu/research/urp/courses/posterdesign.html) or create your power point (http://www.washington.edu/research/urp/courses/posterdesign.html). The Department will be hosting another poster talk session as the symposium nears so that you can get both feedback on your poster as well as test out your "elevator talk" where you have a 1-2 min. spiel ready to give those passing by. More details to come soon!
AstroLunch: Tomorrow at Noon in the reading room (Phys/Astr B356A) Karen Kwitter (Williams College) will give a talk on "Abundances of Planetary Nebulae in the Outer Disk (and possibly) Halo of M31". Join us for this informal lunch-time talk and feel free to bring your lunch!
Astrobiology Seminar: Tuesday at 2:30pm in Phys/Astr A118, Brent Christner (Louisiana State Univ.) will give a talk on "Subglacial Environments: The other deep biosphere".
