J.D. has a great speaker lined up: Bill Hoffman is
a part of the infrared instrumentation team for the University of Arizona
Astronomy Department. The U of A's Astronomy made its reputation initially
on the ability of that team's cameras to penetrate the galactic dust clouds by
detecting infrared photons, giving a much enhanced view. Dr. Hoffman's research
interests are in infrared astronomy,
astronomical instrumentation, dust in the Milky Way and young stars. He will talk
about his work in infrared detection.
We'll meet at
9:00 am at J.D.'s to hear Bill Hoffman speak. We aim to finish
by 10:30. Bring a breakfast dish to share if you like.
Hope to see you there!
Best,
Karie
