Visit Astrobites at AAS 218 in Boston

The citizens of Boston enjoying the city's ever-pleasant weather.

This week will host one of the most important events on any American astronomer’s calendar: the annual summer meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS). The 218th meeting of the AAS will take place in Boston, MA from May 22-26th. The meeting will be chock full of excellent talks and poster presentations on new scientific results, space missions, facilities, instruments, and the state of the field. Ellie wrote about attending the previous AAS meeting in January.

If you’ll be attending the AAS meeting, don’t miss the Astrobites poster!

I am one of the members of the team that founded Astrobites in 2010 and a co-founder of ComSciCon, the Communicating Science Workshop for graduate students. I earned my Ph.D. in astronomy at Harvard University in 2014, focusing on observations of supernovae and their host galaxies; investigating how massive stars explode and enrich the interstellar medium. I did my undergraduate work at Michigan State University.
