First Light Virtual Reunion

NEWS: As the world fights the Covid19 outbreak, the isolation efforts designed to keep us all out of harm’s way have drastically changed the way we live and work. As organizers of the successful 2019 First Light school we would like to offer a chance for everyone to reconnect and share the latest developments in our exciting research field. Therefore, we have decided to organize a virtual reunion with brief science updates by the original school’s speakers as well as the students. The Virtual Reunion will be held in two short (3 hr) sessions on May 27 and May 29. We will also offer students to share any papers they may have published during the last year. Finally, we will of course have another Mystery Guest that you certainly will not want to miss! On May 26, the students from the LOC at the University of São Paulo will host a virtual warm-up session, giving you all a chance to reconnect and share your experiences and test your remote connection. The program can be found below.

All students should have received a registration form by email, which can also be accessed on this Google form. Please register by May 20 in order to secure your access [NOW CLOSED].

Looking forward to seeing you all again online soon!
