[Peyton-observing] Cloudy weather meeting

[Robert J. Vanderbei]

Here are the slides from some broad-audience public talks I've given in the recent past.
Some of them have a page promoting my book, "Sizing Up The Universe".
Clearly, that slide can be deleted.
Here are the talks (most recent first):

S*T*A*R Astronomy Club:  http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/tex/talks/sutu/sutu_StarAstro_small.pdf
South Brunswick Library: http://www.princeton.edu/%7Ervdb/tex/talks/SouthBrunswickLibrary/AstroTalk.pdf
Yuri's Night:  http://www.princeton.edu/%7Ervdb/tex/talks/sutu/sutu_yuri_small.pdf
Local Rotary Club:  http://www.princeton.edu/%7Ervdb/tex/talks/sutu/sutu_rotary_club_small.pdf

These are not in Powerpoint.   But, I have the LaTeX source and can easily makes changes as requested.

Hi all,
This is the summary of the meeting:

- Jeremy will e-mail the department asking for presentations from public
talks, etc, that we can tailor to our needs for observing sessions. The
talks will be requested to be in Power Point format. We will need
volunteers for editing.
- There will be presentations on different topics and we can choose from
that poll.
- If it is cloudy the first observing night of the month, we will cancel
and reschedule for the following week as usual. If the following week it
is also cloudy, we will say in the website that there will not be
observing and that we will hold a public lecture instead.
- We will also need a talk exclusively dedicated to children, to be used
for special school sessions.
- Depending on the month, we will have a short presentation of images of
objects that could have been visible in the sky that month.
- Every talk will have one final slide in all presentation on how to
contact us. (I will send this around soon.) We will also have a couple
of slides on what astronomers do in their day to day life.
- Once the talks are finalized, we will put them in the internal website.

Thank you everyone for coming. Once we have determined what the material
available is, we will need volunteers for editing. If anyone wants to
make any additional contribution, they are highly appreciated!

Best,
Elisa
