In honour of David Jauncey's 65th Birthday
"The Variable Radio Universe Workshop" to mark the occasion of Dave Jauncey's 65th birthday, will be held in Parkes, NSW on July 10 and 11, 2003. The program will treat radio variability on all time scales from pulsars to cosmic times, covering many of the areas where Dave has worked, and will consist of both invited and contributed talks.
A simple alternative would be to arrive with a copy of your presentation on CD or similar universal medium, and ensure that you make it available to your session chair or a member of the LOC well in advance of your scheduled slot. We will attempt to test run presentations before the sessions so as to resolve possible incompatibilities associated with non-standard fonts, media players and so on.
