On 10 June there will also be a special tour of the Harvard Scientific Instrument Collection. While not specific to leap seconds, the program should have plenty to interest anybody subscribed to this list. We have a very strong slate of invited speakers and welcome contributed abstracts on diverse topics of “Time in Astronomy & Society, Past, Present and Future”. This will undoubtedly include Coordinated Universal Time in whatever guise, but will range from the latest in atomic chronometry to keeping time using pulsars in deep space to how to build a clock that will keep accurate time for 10,000 years.
It would be stupendous to have a sizable Leapsecs contingent of diverse points of view :-)
Please forward this announcement, far and wide.
