LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS DIVISION (LAD) SUMMER MEETING MADISON, WI 

MAY 31-JUNE 4, 2020; ABSTRACTS DEADLINE MARCH 10, 2020

 

Dear Planetary Science Community,

 

We are working on enhancing the exchange and collaboration between DPS and

LAD and we invite you to submit abstracts to the LAD meeting in Madison, WI.

Deadline is March 10, 2020. Abstracts related to any area of planetary science

(observational, modeling, laboratory) and astrophysics that need, utilize, or

provide laboratory data are welcome.

 

Laboratory Astrophysics Division (LAD) is one of the divisions of the AAS, just

like DPS. LAD focuses on facilitating collaboration among laboratory astrophysicists

and planetary scientists and their observational/modeling counterparts. Our goal

is to bring LAD and DPS communities together.

 

This year’s LAD meeting has several invited talks that cover both astrophysics

and planetary science research areas. Plenty of room has been left in the schedule

for several contributed talks and posters! Please plan to attend and present your

latest results at what will be one of top meetings for Laboratory Astrophysics in

2020!

 

We invite you to submit abstracts (deadline March 10, 2020).

 

Please go to https://aas.org/meetings/aas236 for abstract submission, registration, etc. 

 

For the LAD Executive Committee,

Murthy Gudipati

Vice-chair

Laboratory Astrophysics Division

American Astronomical Society

SBAG EARLY CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, TRAVEL SUPPORT, AND LIGHTNING TALKS

 

SBAG Early Career Opportunities

The next SBAG meeting will be June 1st and 2nd in Laurel, MD. We have two

opportunities at specifically aimed at the early-career small body community:

 

Early-career travel support: With funding from NASA, we are planning to offer

limited U.S. travel support for early career scientists to participate in the SBAG 23
meeting.  Interested undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and other
early career scientists (within 5 years of PhD/MS/BS) should submit a letter

and a CV to SBAG early-career secretary Terik Daly ([email protected]) by

COB (5 pm Eastern time) 3 April 2020.  Further application information can be

found on the SBAG website (https://www.lpi.usra.edu/sbag/).

 

Lightning Talks: We are providing time on the agenda for early-career scientists

and engineers present at the meeting to introduce themselves and their research to

the community. The talks will be 3 minutes each. If you are interested in giving a

lightning talk, please contact the Terik Daly ([email protected]) two weeks

before the meeting.
