Public Policy Sessions at Long Beach

Published by Marcos Huerta on January 5, 2009 under Policy

There was a good crowd at the NASA Astrophysics town hall this afternoon (Monday.) Other events for those interested in public policy:

Tuesday –

  • 8:30AM – Roger Blandford on the Decadal survey; General Session Hall B
  • 10:00AM – Decadal Survey Launch; General Session Hall B (Forum)
  • 11:40AM – Science, the Sky, and Society – Penny Sackett, Chief Scientist of Australia

Wednesday –

  • 10:00AM – Future Directions of NSF Astronomy, Panel discussion, General Session Hall B
  • 12:45PM – NSF Town Hall, General Session Hall B

Also on Wednesday, I’ll be attending at least in part the graduate student reception, so any interested graduate students thinking about science policy should feel free to talk to me. In general, at the meeting, don’t hesitate to approach me about policy issues, the Bahcall fellowship, etc. Look for someone in a suit and the red “staff” color on my name badge (and my name, Marcos Huerta, of course, as well.)
