August 2019 Events in Astronomical Science Policy

Kelsie Krafton Space Studies Board of the NAS

July was my first month on the job as the AAS John N. Bahcall Public Policy Fellow. I am continuing my predecessor Ashlee Wilkins’s monthly event roundup for the AAS Policy Blog, in which we share a list of astronomical science policy events. Examples include congressional hearings, advisory committee meetings, Capitol Hill briefings, policy forums, think tank symposia, networking opportunities, and/or lectures. Most of these events are public and occur here in Washington, DC. Many are also live streamed. I will try to note in the event listing if advance registration for in-person attendance is required (either for security or capacity reasons). If an event is on this calendar, someone from the AAS Public Policy team will likely be in attendance, so come say hello!

Other relevant policy event calendars:

Space Policy Online Event Calendar, for all things space, including civil, commercial, and defense
American Institute of Physics FYI This Week, for recaps and events happening in physical sciences policy

Some events are announced with than a month’s advance notice, and we will update this post whenever we have something new to add. Please email us if you have a correction or an event that you think should be added to this list.
