VIRTUAL GEMINI SCIENCE MEETING Second Announcement

July 20, 2021

Gemini Observatory is excited to host its first-ever virtual science meeting! This meeting will be a combination of invited talks, observatory updates, hands-on training sessions, and generous time for questions and discussion. There will be a special focus on upcoming instrumentation. This meeting is meant to bridge the gap between the last Gemini science meeting in 2018 and the next in-person meeting, currently planned for 2022. Due to the limited time, contributed talks will not be solicited. 

A preliminary schedule is available at: https://noirlab.edu/science/events/websites/gsm2021/program
Details about chat rooms and sign-ups for one-on-one meetings with speakers will be distributed in the third announcement. The Whova platform will be used to support the meeting.
