The preliminary schedule is
now available. It will break down into the following
formats:
Talks
Contributed talks will be allocated 15 minutes, including
questions. However, most blocks of talks will be followed
by a related panel allowing for extended discussion.
Panel
Discussions
These are group-directed discussions. While there will
several panelists selected for each topic, the intent is to
allow for a more general open discussion involving all
attendees.
Open
Discussions
A few 15 minute blocks of time are allocated in the
schedule to allow for expanded discussions, or to address
topics of interest that did not make it into the program.
Short Feature
Theater
Many coffee/lunch breaks are followed by a 15 minute
theater session. These will be forums for screening any
visual material brought by the participants to the
workshop. This is an excellent chance to show off (and
solicit feedback) your podcasts, animations, imagery, etc.
Bring your material ready to play (Quicktime movie, DVD,
Powerpoint, or ready to go on your own laptop).
Other
Activities
Our other activities include a workshop dinner on Monday
followed by the Art of Astronomy event, and an expedition
to Griffith Observatory (and Hollywood) on Tuesday.
