Convention Abstracts Due April 15!

[Cheryl Jones]

Abstracts for the paper sessions at the NSS Convention (including U.S.and International Exploration) are due to the session convener by April 15th. This is a hard deadline due to the contract with the publisher of the convention program. For more information on formatting abstracts, please review the guidelines at: http://nss2011.com/daytime-activities/sessions/.

Unfortunately, the specific session conveners' list has not made it onto the website. I hope that happens today. If in doubt, send your abstract to me and I will forward it to the appropriate person. However, here is the list:
