At NAM 2021 a few weeks ago, we hosted a virtual poster session, displaying fantastic work from those in the astronomy, astrophysics, solar physics, and MIST (Magnetosphere, Ionosphere and Solar-Terrestrial)
communities.

🌱 There's a great summary of our 'Going Green' lunch session published over on @astrobites

It was a very interesting and thought-provoking session, if you didn't manage to catch it, or you want a reminder, then you can find the summary here: https://t.co/TpwK7wTww8

[RAS NAM 2021 @NAM21Bath]

This was a fascinating talk, give it a watch if you didn't manage to catch it live 🚀

[Prof. Lucie Green @Dr_Lucie]

I recently hosted a fab lecture on the latest and future missions to Mars. The speaker was @PlanetAndrewC who has the inside story and is leading the stereo camera on the Rosalind Franklin rover. The talk can be watched here: https://t.co/gUW1J3lmKv

How incredible are these illustrations?! They summarise a few of the sessions from #NAM2021, and were produced by live event illustrator @RaeGoddard281 from https://t.co/m40LoXpSbq

We wish all of our conference notes looked like this... ✨

🧵 We had some amazing public engagement sessions throughout #NAM2021 - see some of the highlights here!

[Public Engagement Unit at the University of Bath @uniofbathengage]

Been a little quiet of late, but it's been all go here! Working with colleagues at @NAM21Bath & @RoyalAstroSoc we've been testing how to embed #PublicEngagement in an academic conference vs. how it's been done in institutions during #NAM2021 https://t.co/G1xkOVsN9E

[Carole Mundell @cmundell.esa.int @CGMundell]

What a week! Thanks to all our teams @UniofBath @RoyalAstroSoc + our wonderful delegates who together made #NAM2021 an inspiring international celebration of UK excellence in astronomy, astrophysics & space science - and a fitting tribute to 200 years of the @RoyalAstroSoc.

[RAS NAM 2021 @NAM21Bath]

@vrooje There was no way to get to them, our organisers put them there just to tease us all! 🤣

[RAS NAM 2021 @NAM21Bath]

Of course we do have just one event left!

Starting in 15 minutes, Science Showoff presents: Never Explain!

This promises to be a great way to wind down from an awesome week of #NAM2021 🚀

[University of Bath @UniofBath]

Prepare for an evening of out-of-this world jokes. 🤣 🚀
