NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellows Symposium

泰德·冯·希佩尔博士(德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校)与其合作者彼得·弗林查博伊(威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校)和库尔蒂斯·威廉姆斯(得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校)获得组织和举办第六届国家科学基金会天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金(AAPF)年度研讨会的资金。研讨会将于2008年1月6日至7日在得克萨斯州奥斯汀举行，将汇集AAPF研究员、教师导师、潜在的AAPF申请者和天文学社区感兴趣的成员。这将允许研究员介绍他们的研究和教育活动，并更好地建立丰富奖学金经验本身的方法。此外，在研讨会期间，研究员将获得与同事建立跨学科项目的机会。将教育活动纳入研究人员的研究工作，为研究金方案提供了广泛的影响。许多研究员参加了K-12/公众推广活动，从而提高了公众对科学的兴趣。研讨会将允许研究员分享他们的想法和经验，不仅在他们之间，而且与教员导师和出席的其他人分享。

Dr. Ted von Hippel (University of Texas - Austin), along with collaborators Peter Frinchaboy (University of Wisconsin - Madison) and Kurtis Williams (University of Texas - Austin) are awarded funds to organize and conduct the sixth annual symposium of the National Science Foundation Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship (AAPF) program. The symposium, to be held January 6-7, 2008 in Austin, Texas, will bring together the AAPF fellows, faculty mentors, prospective AAPF applicants, and interested members of the astronomical community. This will allow the fellows to present their research and educational activities, and better establish ways to enrich the fellowship experience itself. Additionally, fellows will obtain opportunities to establish interdisciplinary projects with colleagues during the symposium. The integration of educational activities into the research efforts of the fellows provides for a broad impact of the fellowship program. Many fellows participate in K-12/public outreach activities, leading to enhancement of the public's interest in science. The symposium will allow the fellows to share their ideas and experiences, not only among themselves, but also with faculty mentors and with others in attendance.
