NAM2023 - Cardiff

We're looking for a new Communications Officer to join our team. If you're interested in helping us share the best of astronomy and geophysics with the wider world and helping us communicate with our diverse membership, why not apply? 👇 More info: ras.ac.uk/news-and-press…

the latest episode has more of @itrharrison interviewing @DrAshleyNova (machine learning) @Niall_Jeffrey (modelling in astrophysics) and @AzzoniSusanna (CMB polarisation) - you can find that at podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

Back in July @cardiffPHYSX hosted @NAM2023_Cardiff. There are now two episodes available with interviews. The first is July's, feat. @chrisenorth @itrharrison and @zemogle with interviews with @StellarPlanet (exoplanets) and @Emma_Alexander (galaxies) podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

Thanks to all who have reported covid cases at NAM2023 so far. At the present time, 12 such cases were reported out of ~800 in-person attendees. All further reports are welcome and will be used to inform future policy.

You can email us at NAM2023@cardiff.ac.uk, or report here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Several people who attended NAM have reported positive COVID tests over the weekend. While the number of people affected appears small at this stage, we encourage all attendees to test to ensure the safety of others. You can report positive cases to us via email, or anonymously.

@OgNimaeb @davecl42 @DrAshleyNova @nam2023 We are keeping track- all in-person attendees should have just received an email from us.

Reupping this since I posted it fairly early this morning, but folks who attended @NAM2023_Cardiff should consider testing. I have a feeling I picked it up at the conference dinner on Wednesday.

@davecl42 @UnofficialNAM We just shared some guidance via email to in-person attendees - in short you can report positive cases to NAM2023@cardiff.ac.uk or via our anonymous web form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Particular shout out to @Jenimillard, who led the @AoT_Cardiff events (supported by an army from @cardiffPHYSX), @zemogle, who provided the Space Quest activity, and Chim Barrett, without whom none of the schools activities would have happened!

A big shout out to the NAM 2023 Community Engagement committee, who delivered a huge array of events: @chrisenorth , @DrJeniMillard, @zemogle, Steve Eales, Chim Barrett, Ana Duarte Cabral, Mikako Matsuura, and @SaturnSheila & Lucinda Offer from @RoyalAstroSoc

The closing ceremony at @NAM2023_Cardiff #NAM2023 is just beginning. ≈920 unique attendees; 650+ in-person each day and over 120 online only, the organisers tell us. nam2023.org This has been a great NAM: looking forward to next year in Hull!

Thanks to all who attended the LGBTQ+ lunch at @NAM2023_Cardiff today! And massive thanks to @Iz_garland and @DrAshleyNova Main objective of this session was to meet each other -- if you are happy being public, reply to this tweet so folks can find you.

@astrojocksteph @currysmologist We love all our attendees equally <3 😆

@currysmologist @NAM2023_Cardiff Wow there's very tough competition this year!! Only the @NAM2023_Cardiff organising committees can have the final say... Wouldn't want to be making that decision, because so many people have looked so great this week

In case you think the Tiger King, Joe Exotic himself, has turned up to #NAM2023 today, don't worry it's just me. Bringing a specific vibe to @NAM2023_Cardiff, do you have a prize for best dressed over the week?

@DrKeithSmith This information will be in the closing ceremony - a good reason to come to it :-)

@NAM2023_Cardiff Do you know how many attendees there were this year? In person vs online?

We hope you have had a great time at #NAM2023 - if you are happy to share any photos you have of the week we would love to see them!

Such a pleasure to report for @ForbesScience from #NAM2023 in #Cardiff on @jgreaves6 finding more traces of #phosphine in the clouds of #Venus. #nam2023 @NAM2023_Cardiff @RoyalAstroSoc @megoizzy forbes.com/sites/jamiecar… via @forbes

Have you heard of Ada's Adventures in Science? Ada's Adventures in Science, a comic book by Edward Gomez & Laura Sorvala to inspire and empower potential young scientists. The comic book series features Ada, a girl who isn’t afraid to ask questions about the world around her.

Very last minute, but based off of last year's roaring success (thank you @aresosborn!!) we will be having an LGBTQ+ Networking Lunch at #NAM2023, Friday, 13:15, Sir Stanley Thomas lecture theater. See you all there! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
