We want you!

? to provide feedback on how we?re doing.

In order to improve the services that the Optical Data Centre provides the astronomical community, we would greatly appreciate it if you could fill out our User Preferences Survey https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/BwZ0C5QPXJiNQMqNsz9cvP?domain=bit.ly

For those of you who don?t know, the Australian Optical Data Centre is an AAL-funded initiative to provides optical data to the Australian Astronomical Community through the Data Central and SkyMapper ASVO portals, moving to a single portal over time.

The survey will close on Friday 13 November at 8pm AEDT.

Thanks for your support!

Subject: [ASA] Call for 2.3m telescope proposals
Message-ID: <E2AEFBE6-B8AD-4C14-8C88-3CF72B0500F8@anu.edu.au>

Dear Observer,

The closing date for observing proposals for time on the ANU/RSAA 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory (SSO) in the quarter 1st February 2020 - 30th April 2021 is 23:59 November 15, 2020.

NOTE - Only remote observations will be permitted in the short term due to COVID-19.

WiFeS is the only instrument available (The Echelle and Imager have been decommissioned).

Observing proposals must be submitted electronically via the RSAA web pages.
Full instructions are available at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/JqsyC91WPRT7g1zEtoAJ_Z?domain=rsaa.anu.edu.au.


*************************** PLEASE NOTE ***********************************

The ANU 2.3-metre telescope at Siding Spring Observatory is scientifically productive and a valuable resource for student training and instrument development. These diverse and significant benefits justify its continued operation for the foreseeable future. The full cost to the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA) of operating the 2.3m telescope (including staff, maintenance and repairs) corresponds to approximately $1800 per night. To defray this cost, RSAA is offering priority on the 2.3m telescope to paying customers from Australia and elsewhere, while simultaneously ensuring a level of open access to astronomers at all Australian institutions.

60% of the telescope time will be allocated to paid priority proposals, which will need to contribute $900 per night towards the running costs of the telescope. The remaining 40% of the time is open-access and remains free. To be eligible to apply for open-access time, 50% or more of the proposers must be based at Australian institutions.


In future years the price of a priority night will increase and the fraction of open-access nights will decrease. Full details can be found at
https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/AUcQC0YKPviPD8kwTDJU2N?domain=rsaa.anu.edu.au

The latest information on using the telescope and its instruments can be found at http://https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/HePwCgZ0N1iQxkqZi2ybuu?domain=rsaa.anu.edu.au

Message-ID: <B4EC18C3-2643-4FDD-B419-F6B8387122F0@anu.edu.au>

Dear all,

This important survey is requesting participation from people of all genders, in any STEMM-related career, at any career stage (yes - that mean academics, technical staff, and students too), whether they have children or not.

Everyone in our community should take part in this survey if we truly mean to increase the retention of women in STEMM careers and to promote workplace equality and inclusion.

Please make a bit of time to take the survey (it takes 15-20mn if you have children, less otherwise) and spread the word to your other STEMM-related networks so they, too, can participate.

Thank you!
Celine

We are supporting an international survey conducted by Mothers in Science<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/ig2wCK1DvKTp0GJBuv_z7T?domain=mothersinscience.com> and its partner organizations to study how parenthood impacts on the career advancement of people working or studying in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine). This research addresses the inequalities and career obstacles faced by parents in STEMM, and which have been recently magnified by the coronavirus pandemic.


The survey is open to people of any gender, with or without children, who are working or studying in any professional sector in STEMM, and at any career stage.



The data from this survey will help to raise awareness and create long-term solutions for increasing the retention of women in STEMM careers and for promoting workplace equality and inclusion.



Please take the survey and spread the word!
