The  first ASPIRE summer retreat will be held June 5-7 at the Chaminade in Santa Cruz.  This is the first of our semi-annual offsite meetings, gathering together lab members, sponsors and invited guests to present and review our current status and plans, and to brainstorm future directions for the lab.  The retreat agenda includes around a dozen talks highlighting current work in progress and potential future directions, around 30 posters organized in two evening poster sessions with 3-minute poster previews, breakout topics for focused dinner table discussions, and many breaks to allow faculty, students, sponsors, and guests to interact.
