The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) is proud to announce its fifth LPI Career Development Award, which is open to both U.S. and non-U.S. applicants. This award will be given to graduate students who have submitted a first-author abstract for presentation at the 43rd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC).

If you are considering holding a peripheral meeting during the week of the 43rd LPSC, you MUST complete the Peripheral Meeting Request Form online. Due to the enormous growth of this conference and the complexities of scheduling space, we are requesting that all meetings be requested via this form.

Please also note that the deadline to request space is Friday, December 2 [5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time (GMT -6)].

Dear Colleagues,

Please encourage your students who are attending and presenting as first author at the 2012 LPSC meeting in The Woodlands, Texas, to consider applying for the 2012 Stephen E. Dwornik Award for the best student presentations. Awards are given for both oral and poster presentations, with separate awards for graduate ($500 plus plaque) and undergraduate students ($250 plus plaque).

The 43rd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference will be held March 19–23, 2012, at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, located at 1601 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands, Texas, just north of Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

Hello Scientists! Do you remember your first scientific meeting? All of those people, everyone seems to know everyone else, and how do you decide what to go listen to? We have 40 undergraduate students coming to LPSC to present some of their first scientific work as part of the YSS Undergraduate Research Conference on Sunday, March 6th. As part of this experience, students are encouraged to attend the LPSC.
