From s.martell at unsw.edu.au Wed Feb 21 12:03:33 2018 From: s.martell at unsw.edu.au (Sarah Martell) Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 12:03:33 +1100 Subject: [ASA] ECR Chapter Mentoring Program Message-ID: Dear ASA members, We are pleased to invite you to participate in our mentoring program. Mentoring is consistently mentioned as an important ingredient in professional development and career?success, and we are hopeful that our mentoring program will provide our ECR members with perspective, advice and connections within the astronomical community. Here's a quick overview of the program: we are looking for both people to be mentored, and for people to act as mentors as well. There is a quick survey (one for mentors?and one for mentees), and based on the survey results we will match mentors and mentees. The pairs will meet two or three times a year (or more if you wish), either in?person or over video chat, and those meetings will be strictly confidential. If you want to participate in the program, either as a mentor or as a mentee, please fill out this quick survey, preferably by 8 March: Mentees: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/asaecrmentees_2018 Mentors: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/asaecrmentors_2018 and we'll make the matches and get the program rolling. Further information, and links to the slides and summary notes from past ECR workshops, are available on the ECR Chapter web site: http://asaecr.smp.uq.edu.au/mentoring/. Please feel free to send any questions about this program to Sarah Martell, s.martell at unsw.edu.au ?or Jesse van de Sande, jesse.vandesande at sydney.edu.au . You need to be a member of the ECR Chapter to participate in the mentoring program, and you can join through the ASA members portal at asa.wildapricot.org, or by emailing the Steering Committee at asa.ecr.chapter at gmail.com. All the best, The ECR Chapter Steering Committee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <8E8F701B-154F-4228-B171-29CBBE12F874@sydney.edu.au> The following email is an international conference that Shari Breen suggests may be of interest to ASA members but lacking visibility in Australia: Tracing the Flow: Galactic Environments and the Formation of Massive Stars - Registration and Abstract Submission Now Open! 2-6 July 2018 Lake Windermere, UK Abstract submission is now open: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/YNYgC6X13RtMyqwKUph6xL?domain=almaost.jb.man.ac.uk Deadline: 2nd March Developing a comprehensive understanding of the varied and complex processes associated with the formation of massive stars requires connecting a wide range of environments and physical size scales from galactic disks down to individual massive sources. Combining large scale surveys of our galactic plane with the sub-arcsecond images in the millimetre and sub-millimetre which ALMA now routinely produces, in principle allow us to map the flow of material from galactic environments through clouds to protostars. Increasingly these observations probe not only the structure and kinematics of regions, but also their chemistry and magnetic fields. Wide field surveys also help to place massive star formation in the wider context of the environment of our galaxy as well as other, more extreme, galaxies. With the massive increase in spatial dynamic range and the volume of data now becoming available this meeting will provide the opportunity to assess the current state of our knowledge of massive star formation. In addition, it will help identify the key issues for future work and look forward to the expanding opportunities ALMA will continue to offer in the fields of galactic and extragalactic massive star formation as well as those provided by JWST, ELTs, SKA, ngVLA and other facilities in the future. This meeting is the next in the series of high-mass star formation meetings which have included: - The Soul of High-Mass Star Formation Conference, 2015 - Great Barriers in High-Mass Star Formation, 2010 - Massive Star Formation: Observations confront Theory, 2007 - Massive Star Birth: A Crossroads of Astrophysics, 2005 Invited speakers: - Henrik Beuther - Ian Bonnell - Gemma Busquet - Claudia Cyganowski - Ana Duarte-Cabral - Laura Fissel - Roberto Galv?n-Madrid - Adam Ginsburg - Katharine Johnston - Ralf Klessen - Fr?d?rique Motte - Nicolas Peretto - Dimitra Rigopoulou - Mark Thompson Kind regards, Shari Dr Shari Breen | University of Sydney Research Fellow School of Physics, Faculty of Science THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Room 359B, Physics building A28 | The University of Sydney | NSW | 2006 T +61 2 8627 5318 E shari.breen at sydney.edu.au | W sydney.edu.au/science/physics CRICOS 00026A This email plus any attachments to it are confidential.
