Yup, I've registered..
There's another event before that right? I think Dr Phil Chan will be giving a short talk before the other event.

Oh, I thought she lectures somewhere else. Is there astrophysics course in NUS?

Oh there is no astrophysics course in NUS. There is only an astrophysics minor within the Physics major.

Is this talk open to Malaysians?

Kim Miau, if it is announced here in singastro, it is open to everyone, including Malaysians certainly... We have several Malaysians living in Singapore as well, and they are all part of the astronomy community at large.
