AAS 233 was full of friendship, collaboration, science, learning, space fashion, and so much! I had a great time presenting my poster on my work with New Horizons ("Distribution and Energy of Pluto's Nitrogen Ice, as seen by New Horizons in 2015"). We even had the first (of hopefully more?) "Astro on Craft" meetings.
I am also so grateful for the welcoming community of astronomers (especially from my home @Columbia), and also for all the wonderful people I got to reconnect with - and, I can't forget to thank all the lovely people who bought some of my earrings at Startorialist! It made my heart so warm to catch people walking around the conference in things I had made. Here's to (hopefully) next year's AAS winter meeting in Hawaii!

This sounds like such a wonderful conference experience! I love that you got to present your New Horizons research—Pluto's nitrogen ice distribution is such a fascinating topic. The 'Astro on Craft' meetings sound like a great idea too, combining creativity with community. And how amazing that you spotted people wearing your earrings around the conference! That must have been such a special moment. Fingers crossed for Hawaii next year! Leave a Reply. |
