[ASA] ASA Meeting - Abstract Deadline Extended to 3rd May

[Tamara Davis]

Dear ASA,
Given the plethora of holidays lately we’ve decided to extend the abstract submission<https://research.smp.uq.edu.au/asa2019/register/> deadline for the ASA Annual Scientific Meeting for another week, until the 3rd of May.  We are also extending the Early Bird Payment deadline an extra week after that, until the 10th of May.

To register and submit your abstract please click here<https://research.smp.uq.edu.au/asa2019/register/> or visit our website https://research.smp.uq.edu.au/asa2019/

This year the Scientific Organising Committee are trialing blind abstract selections, to avoid possible biases in selection, and ensure your abstracts are judged purely on the quality of the content.

The ASA ASM will be held on the 7-12 July at the University of Queensland Campus.  Your registration includes the welcome reception on Sunday evening, the conference dinner on Thursday night, and the sports social on Tuesday night, as well as the week’s activities.  In addition to hearing about all the exciting science that your colleagues are undertaking during the talks and poster sessions there will be town halls for all the ASA chapters, discussion about the decadal plan mid-term review, and “unconference” breakout sessions designed by you.

We are excited to announce that our Harley Wood Lecture this year will focus on Aboriginal Astronomy and will be delivered by Kirsten Banks.

To receive the early bird registration fee, payment must be received by close of business on 10th May 2019, otherwise the full registration fee will be charged.  You will need to register for your abstract to be considered.

STUDENTS: We may have some limited travel funding available.  If you are a student who can only attend if they receive travel support, please register and submit your abstract, and also fill in this form<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/8H_hCxnMRvtkAKwDf8GwHA?domain=forms.gle>  https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/8H_hCxnMRvtkAKwDf8GwHA?domain=forms.gle

Really looking forward to seeing many of you in Brisbane in July!

All the best,
Tamara Davis (chair of SOC), Holger Baumgardt (chair of LOC)
