*If you're an AAVSO member, this webinar is a must-watch!* It's time for elections, and we want you to know who you're voting for.
In this webinar, hosted by Dr. Brian Kloppenborg (AAVSO Executive Director) & Dr. Joyce Guzik, we shared an introduction to the AAVSO's Board and its annual election process. Dr. Guzik then interviewed the full slate of candidates for the upcoming FY24 election:
- Walt Cooney [Texas, USA]
- Matt Craig [Minnesota, USA]
- Eric Hintz [Utah, USA]
- Mark Munkacsy [Rhode Island, USA]
- Diogo Teixeira [Massachusetts, USA]
Finally, the candidates answered questions submitted by the audience.
*Ready to vote?*
On September 1, 2023, all AAVSO members in good standing were emailed a link to vote in the election. _Check your inbox!_ Voting ends on November 5 at 09:00 A.M. EST (14:00 UT).

AAVSo webinar
Instructor: Eva Laplace (Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies HITS)
Please note: Dr. Laplace has provided links for you to download and install Tulips prior to her presentation: https://www.aavso.org/sites/default/files/education/presentations/How-toTulip_Instructions_12.22.pdf
In this third How to Python! broadcast, Dr. Eva Laplace will teach attendees how to use her Python package, TULIPS, to visualize MESA models. MESA models track the changing temperature, radius, composition, and structure of stars as they evolve, making them valuable tools for stellar researchers; but they are famously difficult to use. TULIPS makes it easy to visualize complex information, allowing you to create beautiful plots and animations showing the changes a star will undergo during its lifetime. Knowledge of basic Python is recommended. Attendees are encouraged to familiarize themselves with TULIPS ahead of time: https://pypi.org/project/astro-tulips/
Our previous How to Python webinars will help you become familiar with Python:
