LPSC day 1 (yesterday)
Well, technically it’s day 2-tuesday. Thus far, it has mainly consisted of getting posters up and meals. The second annual Women in Planetary Sciences breakfast. It’s always a good time to network and talk about issues that women (though not exclusively) face in planetary science: the two-body problem, work/life balance (family!), mentoring, how to move up the chain to be a PI, etc. It was really good. :) Lunch was with a bunch of Santa Cruz folks. There were only a handful of talk I wanted to hear in the morning, one mars talk and two lunar talks about m^3. One of the m^3 talks was given by Dad, which is always neat. We’re having dinner tonight before the poster session.
Posters were a challenge this morning. I had Elena’s and Alicia’s posters for today and my and Janice’s posters for thursday. Due to complications, I picked up Adrian’s poster, which he mailed to my hotel. Mario had his poster for thursday and my poster for today. Ensue chaos. Fortunately, it all worked out and all the posters are up.
Favourite talk for the day goes to Carle Pieters et al. and m^3 results. The images it’s sending back are just beautiful and chock-full of great spectra. (Oh, m^3 = Moon Mineralogy Mapper.)
A talk discussing the depth of the cryosphere using MARSIS results (radar) comes a close second
