The Sixth Annual Greater IPAC Science Symposium will be held on Thursday 
and Friday, September 15 and 16, 2005.  The format of the Symposium will be
~15 minute contributed science talks by Greater IPAC staff, postdocs
and students (IPAC, SSC, MSC), along with one or two special Invited Talks 
each day given by an IPAC staff member.  The Symposium will be concluded 
with the "State of IPAC" presentation by Executive Director George Helou, 
followed by a catered reception in the Dabney Hall Patio.  All Greater 
IPAC staff are welcome and encouraged to attend.

For those of you new to IPAC, the Science Symposium is a forum for all staff,
postdocs and students of IPAC, the Spitzer Science Center and the Michelson 
Science Center to present, discuss and learn about the diverse research that 
is being carried out at the "Greater IPAC."  IPAC members who wish to make a 
contributed science presentation are asked to submit a talk title no later 
than Thursday, August 25 to Roc Cutri (roc@ipac.caltech.edu).  Email submission 
is preferred.  If the topic of your presentation is not immediately apparent 
from the title, please provide a descriptive sentence for scheduling purposes.
Abstracts are not necessary.

The atmosphere of the Symposium is intended to be fun and informal, and the 
location, Dabney Hall, is designed to get us away from our offices and project 
work. Start shopping for your Hawaiian shirts now! 

For questions and title submissions, please contact Roc Cutri 
(roc@ipac.caltech.edu) or Bill Latter (latter@ipac.caltech.edu), 
GISS Co-chairs.  For further information, please see the 2005 GISS
