Linda has participated in NASA and international planetary missions for over 40 years, but is best known for her role as Project Scientist for the Cassini mission, which revolutionised our understanding of Saturn, its rings and its moons. Linda will give two public talks on Cassini?s intriguing discoveries during her visit. The first will be the 2019 Allison Levick Lecture, which will be co-hosted by AAO Macquarie and DIIS, and held at the Macquarie Theatre, Macquarie University on Monday 18 November. Doors open 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start. Admission is free, but booking at this website is essential: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/ZbiPC0YZWVF3LOGKhw9FRg?domain=eventbrite.com.au On Tuesday 19 November, Linda will speak at Questacon in Canberra. This is a free lunchtime presentation in Questacon?s Japan Theatre at 12.30 pm. Once again, booking is essential at this website: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/rhG4CgZowLH27XArHoFmue?domain=eventbrite.com.au I look forward to seeing you at one of these not-to-be-missed updates on the ringed planet!

Please forward the info on to any interested parties that might not be on the ASA mailing list. In recent years hack weeks have become a popular way of introducing and teaching new data analysis methods to researchers and there are examples across many fields, including astronomy. Aside from structured tutorials delivered by experts, the astrocomp hack week will include participant led unconference sessions, presentations, hack sessions, and tutorials. As well as upskilling the participants the hack week aims to encourage collaboration and sharing of knowledge of astronomy tools, e.g., useful Python packages, techniques and coding best practices. A draft schedule can be found here. ADACS is developing the content of the workshop in collaboration with OzGrav, ASTRO 3D, and the ASVOs with input from the ASA ECR chapter and PhD students. For more information visit the astrocomp hack week webpage. Application To ensure a wide variety of attendees, we have put together an application form for the hack week. We will be using entrofy to select participants based on maximising diversity across skills, skills levels, gender/minority identity, geographic location, career stage, and field of research. Due to the interactive nature of the workshop and space constraints we will cap attendance at a max of 40. The registration is free for students and kept low-cost for researchers at $100. We also have a limited number of travel grants available and you can indicate during your application if you require financial assistance. Applications are until Sunday 17 November 2019 - 11.59pm AWST and the application form can be found here If you would like to propose a talk or tutorial, please be prepared to submit a title and abstract as part of your application. ???
