Dear CASPERites, Thanks for your contributions to the 2019 CASPER Workshop and PIRE Summer School to be held at Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian in Cambridge, MA from 12-16 August. We had indicated that notices of acceptance would be sent out by 31 May, and registration would open this week. Sorry to say we're running a bit late on this, we expect to provide feedback on contributions over the next several days, and registration is also expected to open in a similar time frame. Thanks for your patience and support, Jonathan Weintroub, obo LOC.
p.s. Please note Adam Isaacson is also organizing a pair of back-to-back events (busy week and hardware porting workshop) in Hartebeesthoek, South Africa in July. These events are organizationally separate, though also recommended, this note added because of some confusion.
