We invite you to visit the Chapter website to learn more about our aims and recent activities: http://asawomeninastronomy.org/ One of the projects of the Chapter are to collate statistics on women in Australian astronomy as a means of monitoring the progress of the status of women in astronomy over time. This includes statistics on ASA membership, participation at ASA Annual Science Meetings and the awarding of ASA prizes. The Chapter also assists the National Committee for Astronomy in its demographics surveys for the decadal and mid-term reviews. For details on the gender statistics in Australian astronomy, see http://asawomeninastronomy.org/statistics/ In 2011 the Chapter hosted the first Australian women in astronomy workshop. A second women in astronomy workshop will be held in Melbourne 10-11 October. A formal workshop announcement will be posted soon. For details, see http://asawomeninastronomy.org/meetings/wia2012/ The Chapter also hosts women in astronomy meetings at the ASA Annual Science Meetings (ASM). Following our successful meeting at the 2011 ASA ASM, and maintaining the momentum from the ASA Early Career Research workshop that was hosted in Shoal Bay earlier this month, the Chapter will be running another "speed meet-a-mentor" session at this year's ASA ASM in Sydney. The event will run during a special lunch session on Tuesday 3 July. A mailout will be sent to all registered 2012 ASM participants. We encourage everyone to participate - both mentors and mentees. Finally, the Chapter will be holding Steering Committee elections in the next fortnight. All Chapter members are welcome to nominate for the Steering Committee, and thus we encourage ASA members who are not yet Chapter members to sign up! Membership is open to *all* ASA members (regardless of gender) who wish to support women in astronomy and can contribute to help raise the profile of women astronomers in Australia. As a member, you will - be welcome to contribute to defining the Chapter's activities; - receive emails members periodically about issues of interest to the Chapter; - be eligible to serve on the steering committee; - be eligible to vote for members of the steering committee; To register, please visit http://asawomeninastronomy.org/registration/ See you at the ASA ASM!

I will be representing Australia at this committee and would like to gather information on the Australian community's experiences with the Gemini Observatory. If you, as a user (or potential user) of the Gemini telescopes, are aware of any issues about or praise for either the Gemini Observatory or the Australian Gemini Office (please keep these separate) that need to be raised at this meeting, please email them to sb at aao.gov.au before July 1st. Also, if you are a potential user of the Gemini telescopes but have not used the telescopes, what has stopped you and is there anything Gemini could do to make itself more accessible? If there are any specific items you would like to see raised at the meeting, please let me know. Finally, please forward this email to non-ASA members of the Australian community.

News: The program of the meeting is available now on http://www.asa2012.phys.unsw.edu.au/programme.html. As usual, we had a larger demand for oral presentations than the number of available places. You may notice that the SOC scheduled some very short talks (5 minutes) at the end of a few sessions. This is to enable the Early Career Researchers to advertise their work in a more substantial contribution than the Poster Sparkler time. All participants who requested an oral presentation and missed out, can contribute a poster instead. Please let us know if you do not wish to contribute a poster. Dates and Deadlines: * Abstract Submission for Posters: 15th June 2012 <-- Note the deadline approaching (Poster requests will be considered after this date, but this is the deadline for abstracts to be included in the conference booklet.) * There are still 11 reserved budget accommodation places available in New College which have to be booked very soon (please indicate your interest by e-mail to ASA2012 at phys.unsw.edu.au ) Interactive Posters: Thanks to Kooaba and their image recognition technology, this year, poster sessions at the ASA ASM will be interactive. By taking a picture with their smartphone, attendees will be able to share posters of interest, access additional material such as videos, images and the original PDF, or import it to their Mendeley library. Simply use the Kooaba's Shortcut app' to recognise the posters during the conference. Detailed information on how to upload their poster to the server will be sent to the poster authors closer from the ASM.

Alison completed her honours research in SIfA at the University of Sydney under the supervision of Bryan Gaensler & Tim Robishaw. She produced an outstanding thesis, which displayed an excellent combination of understanding, impact, effort involved and presentation. **Charlene Heisler Prize for the best PhD thesis accepted by an Australian university The Charlene Heisler Prize is awarded to Dr Anthony van Eysden, for his thesis ?Superfluid spin up and pulsar glitch recovery? completed at the University of Melbourne under the supervision of Andrew Melatos. Anthony produced an outstanding piece of work which attacked the research problem thoroughly and from many different angles. It resulted in four excellent publications, spread across different discipline journals. In addition, Dr Simon Murphy receives an honourable mention for his thesis ?Revealing the Chamaeleon: Young, low mass stars surrounding nu and eta Chamaeleontis? completed at ANU under the supervision of Mike Bessell. Simon made multiple contributions to a multi-faceted study and produced a brilliantly written thesis. **Louise Webster Prize for outstanding research by a scientist early in their post-doctoral career The Louise Webster Prize is awarded to Dr Sean Farrell (SIfA, University of Sydney), for his nominated paper "An Intermediate-mass black hole of over 500 solar masses in the galaxy ESO 243-49" (Nature, 2009, 460, 73). Sean's discovery has and will continue to have wide and long-lasting impact. Congratulations to Alison, Anthony, Simon, Sean and all nominees on behalf of the ASA. The entries received for the prizes were all of a high standard and show that there is a fantastic generation of young Australian astronomers. It is a credit to the research training programs at their respective institutions. A big thank you to all of our 2012 judges for devoting a considerable amount of their time to reading all of the entries and a special thank you to our ASA Prizes and Awards Coordinator, Tanya Hill, who does a wonderful job each year to make the whole process run smoothly.
