›215th AAS Meeting

There will be Prize Lectures, Invited Talks, and Special Sessions galore at this large meeting, too many to mention here in full. But look for the Russell Lecture by George Preston, on RR Lyrae Atmospheres. Gamma-ray burst investigator Joshua Bloom and supernova specialist Alicia Soderberg will present the Pierce Prize and Cannon Award lectures, respectively. Other prize winners who will address the meeting include distant-galaxies observer Lennox Cowie, recipient of the 2009 Dannie Heineman Prize for Astrophysics and exoplanet researcher Scott Gaudi, named to the Warner Prize. Register soon, reserve a room before the conference hotel fills up, and come early to get good seats.
