[ASA] ANITA online lecture series

[Darren Croton]

Dear ANITA and ASA members.

As announced at last week's ANITA Town Hall Meeting at the Monash ASA ASM, we'll be starting up a regular ANITA lecture series, broadcast online through Goggle Hangouts on Air. Each will feature a different speaker, be about an hour long, and cover topics ranging from basic statistics and computational techniques, to advanced specialised subjects, and more.

With this we hope to move towards one of the priorities outlined in ANITA's recent Strategic Plan for Theoretical Astrophysics (http://anita.edu.au/?p=487), that of improving student education.

I had originally planed to give the first one this Friday, but that unfortunately won't be possible. We've now rescheduled for the following Friday, 26th July 3PM (AEST).

More details will follow early next week. So for those who are interested, sit tight.

Finally, if you have a topic you think might be interesting please suggest it, and a speaker if you know of one.

Thanks,
Darren (on behalf of the ANITA steering committee)
