Today is the start of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Heliophysics Summer School in Boulder, Colorado. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and undergraduate teachers and instructors will meet with NASA scientists to learn about the interactions between the Sun, the heliosphere, the magnetospheres and the upper atmospheres of the planets.
Conferences like this are a great way for the academic community to participate in the groundbreaking research that NASA enables. Check out these resources for more info on heliophysics:
