IAN hosts MEES Colloquium in Annapolis, MD

IAN hosts MEES Colloquium in Annapolis, MDThe 2015 MEES Colloquium was sponsored by IAN and held in Annapolis, MD on October 30-31. Over 130 students and faculty attended the Friday events. The theme for Friday's meeting was "Enhancing your science communication skills". The guest speaker was Ricky Arnold, former MEES graduate and current NASA astronaut. Through amazing images and time-lapsed photography, Ricky's talk took us along on his 2009 journey to the International Space Station followed by a fascinating discussion of our solar system and the unique nature of each of the planets and Pluto. Saturday was all about the students complete with PhD candidate presentations, poster awards, and a classic Bill Dennison poem.
