Observe the Solar Eclipse



Thank you to all who contributed to make this conference a success. It was amazing timing to have the clouds part right as the moon and sun reached maximum eclipse*.  This was followed by a stellar keynote address by Justin Shaifer, many fine presentations, a dynamic exhibit hall, and the recognition of awardees. It was a fabulous conference!
