March meetings

Had a very busy few months early in 2011, including quite a few meetings. Early in March I headed down to Philip Island for the Astronomy with Radioactivities VII meeting. Organised by Monash's own Maria Lugaro, this series of meetings brings together a wide spectrum of observers and theorists interested in various aspects of nuclear astrophysics, including thermonuclear bursts, on which I gave a review talk.
A week or so later I made a flying visit to Arcadia, CA to attend the "face-to-face" weekend sessions of the joint LSC-VIRGO meeting, to talk about our optical program to improve the system parameters of candidate LMXB sources of gravitational radiation.
End of March saw me in Switzerland taking part in the first of two meetings at the International Space Science Institute on the subject of thermonuclear bursts. We had a very productive meeting and set some important tasks to help us better understand our observations of these events. I presented an update on the MIN(i)BAR project.
