The 124th Annual Meeting of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Tucson, Arizona: Aug. 4 - 8, 2012

Please put the date in your calendar and travel costs in your budget for 2012.

The meeting welcomes education and public-outreach perspectives from astronomy & space science, earth & biological sciences, journalism, film, and social media, with a particular focus on effective communication of science and scientific ideas. There will be professional development sessions, hands-on workshops, special interest group meetings, talks, panels, poster papers, tours, and lots of time for networking with those doing the same kind of work in education and communication as you do.

Very reasonable hotel rates have been arranged and the conference venue -- the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel -- is fully air conditioned. For more information and to sign up for updates, visit:
