Official Twitter feed of the 2021 Royal Astronomical Society National Astronomy Meeting, taking place (virtually) at the University of Bath 19th-23rd July 2021



At NAM 2021 a few weeks ago, we hosted a virtual poster session, displaying fantastic work from those in the astronomy, astrophysics, solar physics, and MIST (Magnetosphere, Ionosphere and Solar-Terrestrial) communities.


I recently hosted a fab lecture on the latest and future missions to Mars. The speaker was @PlanetAndrewC who has the inside story and is leading the stereo camera on the Rosalind Franklin rover. The talk can be watched here: youtu.be/vYL9OH6nmzI





Been a little quiet of late, but it's been all go here! Working with colleagues at @NAM21Bath & @RoyalAstroSoc we've been testing how to embed #PublicEngagement in an academic conference vs. how it's been done in institutions during #NAM2021 blogs.bath.ac.uk/publicengageme…

📺 Recordings of the plenary talks from #NAM2021 are now available on YouTube - perfect to watch on your lunch break! Catch up on any you missed, or re-watch those you particularly enjoyed - find all of the links at nam2021.org/science/plenar…
