Speaker Bios:
Speaker: Bethlee Lindor
Bio: Bethlee Lindor (@bmlindor) is a 5th year Astronomy grad student and NSF fellow at the UW. She works on detecting and characterizing multi-planet systems via dynamical interactions. She loves science fiction and fantasy stories, music, and singing!

Speaker: Bruce Balick
Bio: For the past 30 years the Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized one field of astronomical research after another. Now the James Webb Telescope is poised to do the same. In this talk Bruce Balick, Emeritus Professor of Astronomy, will review the colorful history of Webb’s design, construction, and picture-perfect launch and deployment. He will introduce a few of its early scientific images, and present its scientific promise and potential in a field whose research scope is set to explode once more. In his retirement Balick remains an active user of both Hubble and Webb data.
