Just a note, probably obvious -- a small but hopefully forgivable abuse of this forum: we're very actively looking for new graduate student applications in physics and astronomy at UVic, at very least one of which we would like to have here on ALTAIR (and other projects here in astronomy and in particle physics are very actively looking as well). If you know of, or are, a person presently looking at graduate schools, please have a look at, or forward, the following links for application information:
http://www.uvic.ca/science/physics http://www.uvic.ca/science/physics/prospective/graduate/index.php http://www.uvic.ca/science/physics/prospective/graduate/application/index.php
and please just let me (jalbert@uvic.ca), Chris Pritchet (pritchet@uvic.ca), our new postdoctoral fellow Karun Thanjavur (karun@cfht.hawaii.edu), and/or any of our colleagues know if you have any questions about UVic and the research opportunities here.
thanks! justin
