If you\u2019ve ever been curious about the planetary sciences, the UCF-AVS Student Chapter is here to help. Beginning on Thursday May 14, a webinar series that spans until the end of June will bring the expertise of astronomers and astrochemical scientists to student\u2019s computer screens.<\/p>\n

The series, spearheaded by doctoral students Brian Ferrari and Katie Slavicinska of the UCF Astrochemistry Lab, aims to bring an accessible and educational outlet to students in times of quarantine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe positive about doing this virtually is that we can cover a broader demographic,\u201d said Slavicinska. \u201cOriginally this was to be in person, but now that it\u2019s online it\u2019s not just limited to students. Anyone who is interested from anywhere in the world can join. We\u2019ve had over 200 people from four different continents sign up so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Distinguished speakers from disciplines such as the physical sciences, chemical sciences and astrochemistry will join participants on Zoom to give a lecture on their area of skill.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our speakers is Dr. Scott Sandford who is an astrophysicist involved with sample return missions from space,\u201d said Ferrari \u201cWe are really excited about the lineup of speakers we have; there isn\u2019t one that I\u2019m not looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n

This event runs until June 23, 2020 and is open to anyone that may be interested. The lectures will be hosted between 1-2pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage anyone who ever found themselves curious about these sciences but felt too intimated to sign up,\u201d said Ferrari. \u201cI think people are going to find the lectures refreshingly accessible and highly informative.\u201d<\/p>\n
