Welcome to the NOAO WIYN Scientist (1Sep93)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 35, 1 September 1993)

Recent visitors to Kitt Peak have witnessed great progress in the
construction of the WIYN telescope and observatory, as noted in the
previous article. As the facility nears completion (early scientific
operations should commence in late 1994!), we must pay increased
attention to planning the detailed scientific program for the
telescope, including time allocation, scheduling of NOAO's program,
development of observing procedures, implementation of a queue
scheduling program, and commissioning of instruments to be used on
WIYN.

Accordingly, we welcome David Silva as the new WIYN Scientist in
support of NOAO's WIYN scientific program. Silva received his Ph.D.
from the University of Michigan in 1990, and has been a post-doc at
KPNO since then. His experience with wide field imaging and
spectroscopy will be of great value in his new position. Silva's
primary responsibility will be the support of KPNO's scientific program
on the WIYN telescope.
