hi all,

WORKSHOPS:

* GR simulations in cosmology - Queen Mary University of London, 7+8
   September 2020
   https://www.qmul.ac.uk/spa/astro/events/gr-simulations-in-cosmology/
   - abstract submission is closed, but registration is still open;

   - DISCLAIMER: participation in the GR/QMUL meeting requires
     the use of Zoom, which requires you to install unverifiable
     software on your computer (unless you use ordinary phone
     only); abstracts and registration are provided on a GAFAM web service;
     see * https://cosmo.torun.pl/blog/slack_zoom_prison *
     for a more detailed disclaimer on Zoom/Slack;
     see * https://switching.software * for community-based alternatives
     to authoritarian digital online services, to bypass the
     "tyranny of convenience".

AWARDS:

* http://asa.astronomy.org.au/chp.php 2020 Charlene Heisler Prize for
   the most outstanding PhD thesis in astronomy - Awarded to Hayley
   Macpherson for her Thesis "Inhomogeneous cosmology in an anisotropic
   Universe" completed at Monash University and supervised by Daniel
   Price and Paul Lasky.

SOFTWARE:

* 20th release of Einstein Toolkit - release "Turing" -
