Hi everyone!
We have a couple of great Astronomy Undergrad events coming up so please read on! Next Friday (May 13) is my last day before I'm on a 2 week vacation, stop in this week or next if you have any questions. While I'm gone, Dr. Chris Laws (laws@astro.washington.edu) is available to answer any questions.
Grad/Undergrad Pizza Lunch: Tuesday, May 10 at Noon in Phys/Astr B356 (aka the reading room) the grads invite you to join them for $1/slice pizza and some great conversation. RSVP to Alexia so she knows how much pizza to buy: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/arlewis/132566
Poster Prep Session: Are you presenting a poster at the Undergrad Research Symposium? What about at the AAS spring meeting? If so, join us on Wednesday, May 11 at 3pm in Phys/Astr A216 to help you prepare your "elevator talk" -- that 1-2 min. overview spiel you give people walking past your poster. We'll also give you feedback on your poster if it hasn't been printed so please bring your poster in whatever format it currently exists (thumb drive, proof, sketch...).
Phys 324 (Quantum II) Summer 2011: Physics 324 will be offered this summer. It's not on the time schedule yet but I'm told by Physics that it will be soon. The course will be offered 8:30-9:30 MWThF. Keep checking the time schedule if you're interested in taking this course.
AstroLunch: This Tuesday at Noon in B356A (the reading room), join us for the continuation of last week's astro lunch by PACS Director, Richard Coffey on "The Astro SAN Meltdown and How we in Astronomy manage risk". So if you're wondering why you got all those emails about computing issues, this is the place to find out why! Feel free to bring your lunch.
Colloquium: This Thursday at 4pm in Phys/Astr A102, Alan McConnachie (Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics) will be giving a talk on "Galaxy Archaeology in the near field". Join us in the foyer at 3:45pm for coffee, tea and cookies!
Astrobiology Special Lecture: On Monday, May 9 at 7pm in Kane 210, Ralph Lorenz (Johns Hopkins University - APL) will give a talk on "Unveiling Saturn's Moon Titan". No pre-registration needed, just show up.
