| Geraldton Science Festival |
| by Rob Hollow (CASS) |
| ATNF astronomer Dr George Hobbs with students
at the Geraldton Science Festival held at Geraldton Grammar School in Western
Australia, 30 - 31 March. The high school students are controlling the Parkes
radio telescope remotely to observe pulsars as part of the PULSE@Parkes
program. Our team ran 10 hours of observations for participating students, a
teacher workshop and the evening public session. The festival saw about 1,000
people visit over the two days.
