·        Astrophysics

·        Astronautics

·        Astro-acoustic propulsion

·        Knotted loop string theory and chromotopology

·        Gastronomy

·        Interspecies relations

·        Animal husbandry

·        Acousto-anhydroponics

·        Weather control and climatology

·        Ferropoultry engineering

·        Minor planetology

·        Ecological catastrophe amelioration

 

Abstracts for both oral and poster presentations are invited. Abstracts should not exceed a sensible length and should be emailed to iscs2010@beeblebear.net  All submitted abstracts will be published in the symposium proceedings.

There's no Clanger image! :(

I'm hoping that the ad will prompt some more people to submit abstracts. We're a bit short on them at present.

I missed the Clanger item at Orbital as Mitch Benn overran, so looking forward to this.

Evil Twin is currently MIA, but I'm still contemplating writing something on Clanger genetics, with or without his input.
