Magnetic sun: Zita has proposed to NASA and NSF that we continue work begun in Spring 2000 on magnetic effects in the Sun with colleagues Tom Bogdan (NCAR, Boulder), Mitch Berger (UCL, London), and Colin Rosenthal (IOA, Oslo).  This research would support up to four undergraduates per year and a resident postdoc at Evergreen, for up to three years.
