We still need a couple of volunteers for this. Just touring the 
telescope/department for 20min with a group of 10-15 people on the 
morning of Friday March 22.
Thanks and happy holidays everyone!

> My name is Aliya Merali; I am the director of Princeton Plasma Physics
> Laboratory's annual Young Women's Conference in Science, Mathematics,
> Technology, and Engineering
> <http://science-education.pppl.gov/YWC/Overview.html>(YWC).
>
> The YWC is a one-day conference which is scheduled to take place on
> Friday, March 22, 2013. We expect to host 375 young women on Princeton's
> main campus throughout the day, which focuses on both exposing young
> women to the wide variety of scientific occupations available to them
> and encouraging them to pursue the education and careers in science,
> technology, engineering and mathematics. We do this through interactive
> exhibits and presentations given by female scientists throughout the day.
>
> As part of the schedule, we hope to include tours of the laboratories on
> campus. I'm writing to inquire about a tour of one or several of the
> laboratories in your facility, especially of the observatory. We would
> ask that someone (perhaps a post-doc, graduate, or undergraduate
> student) provide a short (20-30 minute) tour of a laboratory in your
> facility, in which they would speak about the work being done and its
> applications. The tours would take place between 9:00 AM and 11:45 AM on
> March 22. There would be 3 different groups of approximately 10-15 young
> women coming in throughout that time period.
>
> I've attached a formal invitation letter with more details about the
> conference logistics and timing. We would love to include your facility
> in the conference this year; please feel free to contact me if you have
> any questions!
>
> Please let me know if you are able to provide a tour of your facility
> and/or whom I should contact to set up the tour logistics. Again, do not
> hesitate to contact me for more information.
