Our own Kayla Taylor will review of the experiences of women in astronomy to understand how they have overcome discrimination to pursue their careers.
Kayla holds a BS in Astronomy and Astrophysics and an MS in Aviation with a specialization in Space Studies from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. She will begin her PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in August at Embry-Riddle. Her academic interests focus on balancing the opportunity and impact of human innovation, scientific inquiry, and space exploration. She has researched and published on a variety of STEM-related issues, from gender discrimination in the physical sciences to evaluating the effect of various forms of light pollution on ground-based astronomy. Applying her technical background to integrate the broader scientific landscape and address multidisciplinary questions, her work serves to reimagine and support the exploration of the cosmos.
SkyWatcher Senior Product Specialist Kevin LeGore will review key products as Skywatcher celebrates its 25th anniversary. The Skywatcher line features high end refractors, Dobsonian reflectors, nightscape photography products and high performance telescope mounts.

On April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse will trace a narrow path of totality across 13 US states and we have arranged to go to Dallas, TX for the event. Dallas is on the line of 100% coverage for over 4 minutes. We have decided to add a week vacation to do some fun touristy activities before and after the event. Some should be of interest to all ages and personalities, from golfing to roller coasters, from BBQ to the oldest Tex-Mex in town, from skyscrapers to horseback. Details to follow via email.
DETAILS: $159/night +tax, 2 free breakfasts per room. You may select how many nights you want to stay.
I have a block of 10 rooms set aside – so first come first serve.

What are solar flares and how do we detect them?Joshua Ingram is a graduate researcher at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian and United States Quad Fellow. Joshua develops statistical and machine learning methods to detect solar flares and model their energy distributions and occurrences. He received his B.A. in Statistics & Applied Mathematics and M.S. in Applied Data Science at New College of Florida and will be pursuing his Ph.D. in Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University starting in Fall 2024. In this talk, Josh will discuss solar flares and their potential dangers to society, the data collected on these violent events, and current results and challenges in better detecting flares using machine learning methods.
