LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS DIVISION VIRTUAL MEETING JUNE 1-3, 2020
Hi Planetary Science Community:
Become Laboratory Astrophysics Division (LAD) Member and Register for the
AAS/LAD Joint Virtual Meeting by May 29, 2020
As the Vice-Chair of LAD, it is my goal to encourage planetary scientists to become
LAD members, such that LAD has equal representation from the planetary science
community. If you ever use or need laboratory data for your models or observational
analysis, you may want to consider becoming a LAD member. You will find the right
collaborator for your data needs. If you do laboratory work, you would find a platform
to showcase your work. If you are looking for careers in laboratory studies pertinent to
astrophysics and planetary sciences, LAD provides you networking opportunities. This
year LAD jointly with AAS has their first ever virtual conference June 1-3, 2020.
Registration and program at:
https://aas.org/meetings/aas236
Check out the following links to become LAD member or affiliate for very nominal fee
(Full Member $20, Graduate Affiliate $10, Undergraduate Affiliate $5).
Please pass on this information to your colleagues, who may be interested and encourage
them to become LAD members.
Thanks,
Murthy Gudipati

LUNGRADCON 2020 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The 10th Annual Lunar and Small Bodies Graduate Conference (LunGradCon 2020) is
to be held virtually on Wednesday and Thursday, July 1st-2nd 2020, preceding the NASA
Exploration Science Forum (ESF, July 8-10th). With the expanded interests of the Solar
System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI), the scope of LunGradCon includes
both lunar and small body science. LunGradCon provides an opportunity for grad students
and early-career postdocs to present their research on lunar and small body science in a
low-stress, friendly environment, being critiqued only by their peers. In addition to virtual
presentations, the conference will feature Q&A panels with various groups to help grad
students navigate the paths to careers in space science. The deadline for LunGradCon
registration and abstract submission is June 19, 2019, 11:59 PM PDT.
For more details, please visit:

or email any questions to: [email protected]
Best wishes,
The LunGradCon Team
