In the past years, this one-day meeting has provided an excellent opportunity for local cosmologists to gather and discuss their current research. Attendance has been quite good, with participants from Davis, LBL, Berkeley, Stanford, SLAC and Santa Cruz.

This year's meeting will follow the same format as in previous years, with short (~10 min.) talks and plenty of time for discussion. In particular, we encourage (and will give preference to) talk contributions from grad students, postdocs and new faculty.

We will also be organizing an informal social dinner after the meeting at Gordon Biersch in downtown Palo Alto. Please indicate on your registration form if you would like to attend, so we can make appropriate reservations.

Organizing committee:

• Mustafa Amin
• Michael Busha
• Brian Gerke
• David Rapetti
• Marina Shmakova
• Risa Wechsler
