NOTE: We regret that, due to an unavoidable schedule conflict with their collaboration meeting, the Auger group will not be able to attend this retreat. There will be a special astro seminar devoted to Auger on April 28 and we will make sure there is ample time to hear from our Auger colleagues at the June 5 retreat.
