  4. Chandra Science Workshops • 2-3 day workshop, ~100 participants • Once/year in summer, in Cambridge • Organized by moi for CDO • Goals are to focus Chandra science by • identifying the most pressing scientific questions in an area and • debating good Chandra strategies to answer them. CUC Meeting
