I wanted to call your attention to a new Computational Science and Engineering
(CSE; http://cse.berkeley.edu/) seminar class called "Python for Scientific
Computing,"
being organized by Josh Bloom, a professor in the astronomy department.
The course (AY250; CCN 06180) may be taken for credit by undergraduates
or graduate students and may be audited by anyone contacting the professor directly
(jbloom@astro.berkeley.edu).  The course meets Mondays 2-5pm at Hearst 310.
The first meeting (this Monday) is optional.

Dear Colleagues (CSE Faculty):

We are pleased to inform you that UC Berkeley will continue to be

CITRIS is pleased to announce a new round of seed funding for FY 2010.
It is open to all CITRIS investigators in UC Berkeley, Davis, Merced,
and Santa Cruz. Seed funding supports high-risk/high-impact projects
that are distinctive and novel in their approach and have potential to
attract larger scale grants. We are seeking innovative proposals in all
areas of interest to CITRIS, including Energy and the Environment,
Delivery of Healthcare, Intelligent Infrastructures, Technology for

The Joint Cray XT5 Workshop is designed to provide an in-depth
introduction to using the world's newest and largest Cray XT5 systems.
Representatives and staff from the National Energy Research Scientific
Computing Center, the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, the
National Institute for Computational Science, Cray, and AMD will explain
how to use XT5 systems productively. The workshop is aimed at both new
and intermediate users of the Cray XT5.

A multidisciplinary group from UC Berkeley have been awarded a $1,573,550 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to tackle new challenges confronting astronomers who study the dynamic and variable sky. The grant, lasting 3 years, is part of a new Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) initiative designed "to create revolutionary science and engineering research outcomes made possible by innovations and advances in computational thinking."
