Dear members of the NASA Gamma-Ray Science Interest Group,

We will host a second Webinar on the theme of “The future of gamma-ray astronomy” on Friday, June 16, 2023 at 3:00-4:30PM Eastern Time (12 — 1:30 PT). The session will be hosted on Webex. Connection details are at the bottom of this email. The agenda of the meeting will consist of two 12-min presentations followed by a moderated discussion:

  • Roadmap to Complementarity: Key Investments in the High-Energy Space Infrastructure Environment for 2040 (Tiffany Lewis, GSFC) [PDF]
  • Lessons learned from the 1997 Roadmap for Gamma-ray Astronomy (Peter Michelson, Stanford) [PDF]
  • Discussion: How to design a road mapping taskforce? (Justin Finke, NRL) [PDF]

This will be the second of a series of monthly webinars with the goal of outlining a community vision for the future of gamma-ray science and how future missions could support it.

Please help us by distributing this announcement to you colleagues and encourage them to sign up the GR SIG email list. We look forward to seeing you on June 16.

Best,
Eric Burns
