Hi Everyone, This week we meet at *1 PM Eastern*, Thursday, June 18, for our weekly LQS meeting. Dial-in is 510-665-5437, passcode 7336. We'll take round-table reports first, then continue our discussion from last week of the paper http://www.arxiv.org/abs/0906.1755 Entitled "Astronomy and the Media: a love story?", this it discusses the state of science communication with the general public and provides ideas on how to improve it. Several astronomy-related areas are discussed, including dark matter. The focus is on astronomy, but much of the discussion is relevant to all of physics. The meeting agenda and the paper can be found at http://dmtpc.mit.edu/MaKaC/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=175 Hope you can join in. Thanks much, --Ray
