To speakers: Please be sure to send an abstract of your talk to Joel Hartman (jhartman at cfa) and Juan Luna (gluna at cfa) by the close of business on the Wednesday (or at the very latest, 12pm EST/EDT on the Thursday) before the talk, in order to allow us to advertise it in the weekly CfA events calendar. Directions to the CfA are available here, and the OIR group maintain a useful guide to local accommodations for visitors from out of town.
