This week is proving to be a slow news week, and I think that is in part triggered by so many people having a ‘WTF is going on with the world’ kind of week. Over the weekend, the American Physical Society cancelled their annual meeting less than a day before events for slated to start. Money was already spent, and a lot of people had already traveled. This triggered a collective scramble to figure out what other meetings are at risk, and we’re seeing a wild interest in sorting how to hold remote meetings. As we’ve mentioned before, our team is planning to take off next week so we can plan our coverage of the annual Lunar and Planetary Meeting in Houston. At this time that meeting is still planned. In looking into things, however, we’ve learned that many hotels and event centers don’t rationally allow cancellation for emergency unless it is within hours or days of the events start. This means we can tell you LPSC is still on, but it could be cancelled at the last minute as well, depending on how the corona virus evolves. We will do what we can to bring you the news, meeting or no meeting.
