I’m at the beautiful Gaylord Convention Center in Grapevine TX, attending the 229th meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

Today’s the first day, and it will be chockfull of presentations, posters, and press releases.

Given my research focus on exoplanets, I’ll mostly be attending talks on that topic, but I’m going to duck out at one point to hear about the solar eclipse, coming up in August this year.

Fortunately for me this year, my presentation was scheduled on the first day of the meeting, in the first session of contributed talks. That means I’ll be able to focus on the rest of the meeting without being preoccupied by preparing for my own presentation. I’ve posted my slides below.

Stay tuned this week for more.
