From DavidParkinson at kasi.re.kr Mon Jan 21 16:03:14 2019 From: DavidParkinson at kasi.re.kr (David Parkinson) Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2019 05:03:14 +0000 Subject: [ASA] =?utf-8?q?Conference_announcement=3A_3rd_CosKASI_conferenc?= =?utf-8?q?e=2C_=E2=80=9CThe_Correlated_Universe=E2=80=9D=2C_April_22-27_2?= =?utf-8?q?019=2C_South_Korea?= Message-ID: The 3rd CosKASI conference 2019, ?The Correlated Universe?, Jeju Island, South Korea, April 22-27 2019 Plenary Speakers: Stefano Camera, Giulia Cusin, Enrique Gazta?aga, James Jee, Donghui Jeong, Elisabeth Krause, Martin Kunz, Ofer Lahav, Hyung Mok Lee, Changbom Park, Alexandre Refregier, Marcelle Soares-Santos, Atsushi Taruya The current concordance cosmological model is built on a combination from a number of different sources: the CMB, standard candles and rulers, the large-scale structure etc. As different types of survey data become available for overlapping areas of the sky, the correlations can be measured between different cosmological observables, which represent both problems and opportunities for testing the cosmological model. Some examples of cross-correlations include galaxy-galaxy lensing, time-delay between GW events and the electromagnetic counterpart, higher-order correlations between density fluctuations (non-Gaussianity), time-lag in the of continuum- and line-emission of quasars (reverberation mapping), the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect, and others. The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers who worked on different predictions and analysis of cross-correlations between cosmological datasets, and discuss the opportunities that current and future data represent, as well as the sharing of ideas and techniques. This will be a focussed workshop, with invited and submitted presentations, as well as adequate time for discussion. The meeting will be April 22-27, 2019, at the KAL hotel, Seogwipo, on Jeju island, South Korea. A website is now available for the conference, at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/MEEWCGvmB5i3OynoiK8c5E?domain=cosmology.kasi.re.kr. The number of participants is limited to 60, so unfortunately we may not be able to accept everyone who would like to come. We ask interested participants to register now. Registration payments will only be due after final confirmation of places, which will be done after March 31st, 2019. We look forward to seeing you in Jeju. on behalf of the scientific organising committee: David Parkinson (chair), Tamara Davis, Ruth Durrer, Jinn-Ouk Gong, Alexie Leauthaud, Eric Linder, Misao Sasaki, Arman Shafieloo, Yong-Seon Song and Mark Trodden David Parkinson DavidParkinson at kasi.re.kr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They come from Science & Technology Australia (STA), of which the ASA is a member, and describe taking a role in policy making. Each is about 10-15 minutes. They are well worth a look for different perspectives on this topic.

John Science & Technology Australia - Science meets Policymakers View this email in your browser [https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/m97nCmOxDQtyLErniB9cU4?domain=gallery.mailchimp.com] The value of science and evidence as contributors to the policymaking process is universally accepted, but how do STEM professionals ensure that science and evidence are being heard? As an exclusive benefit for members of STA, we have crafted a series of videos drawing on the expertise of leading policymakers, influencers and STEM professionals to provide insight into how scientists and technologists can take part. Hear from the country's leading science policy voice, Australia's Chief ScientistDr Alan Finkel; from the head of higher education peak body Universities Australia, Catriona Jackson; the Director of the ANU's Crawford School of Public Policy, Professor Helen Sullivan; and a scientist turned policymaker working with Australia's Square Kilometre Array Office, Dr Amber Beavis.

Ron Ekers AO: "For distinguished service to science as a radio astronomer, to scientific education, and to astronomical and international organisations." Elaine Sadler AO: "For distinguished service to science as an astrophysicist, in the field of galaxy evolution, and to gender equality" David Malin AM: "For significant service to science as an astronomer and astrophotographer." This is well extremely well deserved national recognition of the sustained and ongoing contributions that Ron, Elaine and David have made to our community over many years.
