Format

We will solicit questions from the audience via a question aggregation tool such as Slido (https://www.sli.do/). While the questioner’s identity will be visible to us, the organizers, it will not be available for the audience at large. This will mitigate the reticence some less experienced astronomers feel around asking fundamental or clarification questions. The audience can then vote on questions they would like to see answered, which provides another avenue for participation by shyer attendees. For audience members who do not wish to use the online tool, we will provide notecards and upload the questions ourselves.

We also plan to include panel discussions around the sub-themes in our splinter, which will replace the usual Q&A sessions. A longer panel time with 4 speakers will allow more time to discuss complex ideas, and we will aim to mix theorists and observers working on similar questions to foster a cross-cutting discussion.
