Summer Workshop on Gemini Data

NOAO, along with the Gemini Observatory, will present a summer workshop on Gemini data. The workshop, to be held in Tucson on 19-22 July 2010, will cover the basics of astronomical data reduction and include breakout sessions focused on specific Gemini instruments and capabilities. The goal of the workshop is to provide the community with tools and skills to help maximize the scientific return from Gemini. There is no registration fee, and the workshop is open to any interested member of the NOAO and Gemini communities. NOAO will offer partial travel support for up to 60 registrants, with preference given to US-based graduate students and postdocs. If you are interested in attending, please register at the workshop web site. Questions about the workshop may be addressed to the workshop coordinators Verne Smith (vsmith@noao.edu), Tom Matheson (tmatheson@noao.edu), and Nancy Levenson (nlevenson@gemini.edu).
