Carnegie Science Day serves as a forum for Carnegie astronomers old and new to learn about each others' work. Presentations are generally informal and can focus on recent papers, preliminary results, speculative project ideas, or all of the above. The next CSD will take place on Friday, October 18, 2013. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to participate. Light breakfast items and lunch will be provided. A preliminary draft of the program, including the list of speakers and topics, is posted here.
