Introducing: Karl Smith

Hi,
I am currently a graduate student at Michigan State Univ. where I have been working on sensitivities of X-ray burst models to nuclear uncertainties. I will be blogging about the interesting talks during the workshop.

Introducing: Ed Cackett

Hi, I'm Ed Cackett, a Chandra Fellow at the University of Michigan, and one of your intrepid bloggers for the rapidly approaching Crust09 workshop. You'll hear about my research interest in quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries during the workshop. Outside of astronomy, I have a keen interest in music (mostly jazz & blues), eating, and trying to avoid changing diapers. Come say 'hello' to me in Santa Fe (I'm the guy in the picture not in red!).
