Description

GothamFest is an opportunity for astronomers throughout NYC - at CCA, CUNY, AMNH, Columbia, NYU and other institutions - to come together to welcome new members, celebrate our science and make connections. Everyone is invited to attend and share something they are thinking about in a poster (undergrads and postdocs) or short talk (more advanced researchers).

GothamFest 2021 will take place at the Flatiron Institute's Ingrid Daubechies Auditorium (IDA, 2nd Floor) on December 9th and 10th.
