The 2nd British Planetary Science Conference was held from the 13th-15th of January at the University of Oxford, following from 2017\u2019s inaugural conference in Glasgow. Attendees from the University of Leicester presented their work across 14 talks and posters, covering a wide range of topics across the solar system, from crater cataloguing on Mercury to infrared observations of the Neptunian atmosphere, and much in between.

Alongside presenting their research, the conference also provided chances for the attendees to socialise and network, with a food and drinks reception held amongst the exhibits of the Oxford University Natural History Museum. The conference closed with a panel discussion featuring representatives from different funding bodies and scientific community organisations, allowing the participants to voice their thoughts regarding the direction of British planetary science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The course of the conference highlighted the breadth and depth of planetary science research being performed both across the wider U.K. scientific community and specifically at the University of Leicester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
