[Everyone] First Announcement: Fast Radio Bursts and Their Possible Neutron Star Origins, 18-20 February 2019

[Jeffrey Lichtman]

Hello Emily,

Thank you for the notification. It would be difficult for me to attend the
conference due to being a post stroke person.

Here in Texas, my research includes FRB and other pulse type observations.
The HEP's (High Energy Pulses), a phrase given to these phenomona by Robert
M. Sickels and myself in 1974, have always been of great interest!

*Is it possible for a streaming video from the conference? *

Thank you all for the great work you continue to do!

Warm Wishes,
Jeff Lichtman

fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true
science. Whosoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, No longer
marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. " *
