MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR: DPS 49 BANQUET
I just signed up for the DPS 49 Banquet (https://tinyurl.com/y7q7n6rf) and an
art class before the banquet that Sundance has made available to DPS members
(https://aas.org/meetings/dps49/events#banquet). Note that the banquet cost
includes transportation to and from Sundance Mountain Resort, a beautiful
property at the base of Mount Timpanogos, ~15 miles from downtown Provo.
It is a special place and I know it will facilitate collegial interactions and
discussions about our scientific work.
The activities prior to the meeting include pottery, jewelry making, painting
and journal making. I finally decided on painting to exercise a different part
of my brain. These classes are offered for a fee and I hope you’ll take the time
to sign up for this different experience for two hours before the banquet if
you’re so inclined. No experience is necessary. I’m looking forward to
@DPSMeeting #DPS17 (or DPS49) in Provo, UT next month and hope you
are too.

JWST PROPOSAL WORKSHOPS
Two 2.5 day workshops will be held this Fall for those interested in
proposing solar system observations with the James Webb Space Telescope
(JWST). The first (Nov. 13-15, 2017) will be at the Space Telescope
Science Institute (STScI), in Baltimore Maryland. The second (Dec.
13-15, 2017) will be held at the European Space Research Technology
Center (ESTEC), in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
Each workshop will include a mixture of presentations about
the promise of JWST for solar system science, specifics on observer
planning tools and observatory capabilities, and hands-on training
and Q&A with the planning tools. Observations of solar system targets
approved for guaranteed-time observers (GTOs) and through the Early
Release Science (ERS) program will be summarized. The workshop is
timed to support JWST cycle-1 open time proposals, which will be due
early March 2018.
Registration and (optional) abstract submission is now open for both events.
