Student Day

ORAL

Abstract

This relatively informal session features an alternating sequence of  

tutorial talks and research talks “for students, by students” (and  

also some postdocs).  This year's speakers come from the fields of  

astrophysical plasmas, laser-produced plasmas, and magnetic  

confinement fusion.  In addition, Student Day this year is debuting  

lightning talks, plasma trivia, and more.  The goal is to offer  

graduate students an easier introduction to the annual meeting, a  

chance to learn the basics about sub-fields not found at their  

institutions, and an opportunity to connect with other student  

attendees. Other interested parties near the graduate studies phase of  

their education/career (including, e.g., postdocs, other recent Ph.D.  

graduates, and undergraduates) are also welcome to join.
