Thursdays at 11AM ET; other days and times as noted
The GSFC Exoplanet seminar series features hybrid and virtual scientific talks every other Thursday given by SEEC and external exoplanet scientists. Topics range from observations and atmospheric modeling to planetary interiors and orbital dynamics. Previous talks can be found on our YouTube Channel. The best way to stay up to date with the latest Exoplanet seminar news is by joining our mailing list. You must be on the Goddard network to use that link. However, anyone is welcome to join the list even with a non-NASA email, simply email Joe Renaud if you would like to be added. If you would like to give a talk, or recommend someone else as a speaker, please contact one of the hosts listed below. Also contact us if you are interested in becoming a host, we always need more volunteers!
