AD | Get started with Brilliant’s tutor for free at https://brilliant.org/drbecky and save 20% off an annual subscription | 700 astrophysicists. Unlimited coffee. And a whole load of science. This is the National Astronomy Meeting. The UK's largest gathering of astrophysicists and astronomers, and this year, I'm not just attending. I'm presenting. And you’re coming with me. Over the next two days, I’ll take you into the big plenary talks, and the parallel science sessions, including the one where I’ll give my talk, and support my PhD student giving hers. Plus I’ll take you behind the scenes for the bits you don’t normally see: the poster hall gossip, the coffee-machine debates, and yes the fancy awards dinner. Watch this video to find out what science has got everybody excited this year, and what a day in the life at NAM looks like… Papers mentioned: Smethurst et al.
