JOINT MEETING OF NASA’S ASTROPHYSICS PROGRAM ANALYSIS GROUPS, Jan 9, 2022, 5:00 pm ET

Update, January 5, 2022:  The COPAG website now says this meeting is postponed indefinitely.  (Note that the NASA astrophysics Town Hall meeting scheduled for January 11 will still take place as a virtual meeting. See our separate Calendar entry for that meeting.  Press conferences scheduled for the AAS meeting also will take place virtually January 10-13.)

Update:  The AAS cancelled its Salt Lake City meeting (in-person and virtual) because of the spread of the omicron COVID variant.

As of January 3, 2022, the COPAG website lists this joint PAG meeting as a hybrid event taking place on Sunday, January 9 from 3:00-5:00 pm Mountain Time (5:00-7:00 pm Eastern) and lists a room at the Salt Lake City convention center. Presumably the in-person portion of this meeting has been cancelled and the website has not been updated, but whether it will still take place as a a virtual-only meeting is not clear. A WebEx link is provided on that website at the moment.

Check the COPAG website for up to date information.
