Scientific paper

ALMA Commissioning and Science Verification started in January 2010 with the achievement of phase closure at the telescope site at 5000m in northern Chile. This was soon followed by Science Verification, which involves making "end to end" science observations with at least 8 antennas. Starting in January 2011, we have been making very rapid progress integrating antennas and testing new observing modes, and along the way we have released a few datasets of Science Verification observations. At present, there are 30 scientists from all over the world working at the Joint ALMA Observatory in Santiago, all of whom are assisting with Commissioning and Early Science activities as well as carrying out their own research programs. In this talk, I will summarize the current status of the array and the preparations for the next phase of Early Science.
