reminders - please subscribe to

send a reminder to this list if Boud forgets...)
why?
Purpose: stimulate discussion and understanding each other's
cosmo/extragal research, but also include astronomers/students not
directly involved in cosmo research projects, in order to encourage
general information flow.
how?
Format:
- very short talks, *maximum 5 minutes*, explained in a simple
way, related to cosmology/extragalactic astronomy in some way, e.g.
-
- a printed journal article
-
- a cosmology announcement in the govt/corporate media
-
- a web site about cosmology
-
- software you think is useful
-
- something else - use your imagination!
- in each case hopefully followed by questions, discussion
- język/language: wyb?r wolny/free choice
- the list of topics may be decided "on the spot", or people with
a zwicky login may add to the agenda beforehand at:

Comments:
- having very short talks encourages
-
- possible cross-fertilisation of randomly chosen ideas
-
- more likely to concentrate on questions and discussion
-
- more likely to have spontaneous ideas
-
- practice in going straight to a key idea and explaining it in simple words
- the time limit of one hour means that people know this won't take up
their whole day; those people more interested, and with more time, can
hang around for the research meeting.
who?
Participation:
This should be of interest to all
TCfA staff and astronomy students,
though there will probably be a core group mostly of cosmo/extragal
people.
