Title: The Most Metal-Poor Stars in the Universe, Interstellar Depletion, Binary Evolution, Lambda Bootes Stars, Mass Loss from Sirius, Comets Around Beta Pictoris...and Everything In Between!!!


Abstract:
I will discuss all! these topics (plus two more) and show how they are related to explain some of the most peculiar stars in the galaxy. It is the surprising story of apparently unrelated studies that were all needed to solve a puzzle.

This talk is great for students and for everybody else who wants to learn about the tricks of stellar evolution and the marvelous surprises that can occur when you make remote stellar spectroscopic observations.
