Title: 2nd Annual Up-Goer Five Challenge
\nHost:\u00a0Julie Bowles<\/p>\n

Abstract: In the spirit of communicating science in plain words, the Up-Goer Five Challenge dares you to explain your scientific interests using only the 1000 most common words in the English language. It is Inspired by this xkcd comic<\/a> which describes the Saturn V moon rocket using such limited words.<\/p>\n

We invite anyone in the department (or friend of the department) to stand up for 1 to 5 minutes (or less) to describe something of scientific interest. Visual aids optional. This text editor<\/a> will flag any word that is not in the 1000 most common category. This is a fun event, and the more people that participate the more fun we all have!<\/p>\n

\nTitle: Our Goals for Lunar Science and Exploration
\nHost:\u00a0Julie Bowles<\/p>\n

Abstract:\u00a0NASA has recently announced plans to refocus its attention on the Moon as a cornerstone for Solar System science and exploration. However, similar announcements were made in the not-so-distant past, only to be cancelled before they could come to fruition. What have we learned along the way? And what can we learn from new orbital and landed missions to the Moon? I will present recent highlights in lunar science, the highest priority lunar science goals as determined by the National Research Council, and some of the ways we will seek to answer those questions.<\/p>\n
