Title: "Results and Reflections from the January AAS Meeting"
This week, we will have an open conversation centered around reflections from various conferences, with an emphasis on the 235th AAS. Everyone is welcome to join, regardless of whether you attended the AAS Meeting: please come in to share your experiences participating/organizing various conferences and/or learn from others!
If you would like to contribute to the discussion, here are some suggestion questions that can guide you in thinking about your most recent conference. Please feel free to expand upon the list:
- What motivated you to go to this specific conference? Did you get out of it what you hoped you would? - What do you think was the most valuable take-away from this conference? - What is something that you really enjoyed during the conference? - What were some challenges that you faced during the conference? What could have been better in terms of organizing the conference? What do you think the department and/or our community could do to better prepare you for this event? - What are some sessions that you wish you went to, but couldn't? - What advice would you have for someone who would like to go to the same conference? - What advice would you have for someone who would like to plan a conference or a workshop?
Furthermore, we will have four undergraduate students (Caleb, Claire, Mackenzie, and Kathleen) and a few graduate students (yet to be decided who :) bring their posters that will be placed around the room for a very informal exchange of what people have been up to with their science. If you would like to join in, please feel free to bring a poster with you and we will put it up. Also, if you attended a particularly exciting workshop relating to some of the BANG topics that you would like to discuss, please let us know so that we can count you in for structuring the hour!
