Sterrewacht Science Day 2010
The annual Observatory Science Day was held on Thursday, 8 September. The main goal of this day was to remind ourselves that the people working here are doing interesting research, and not just attending meetings, writing proposals, fighting with computers,... Secondary goals are:
- Coax the permanent staff out of their offices into the harsh light of day.
- Introduce the staff and senior students to the incoming third year bachelor students, and vice versa
