Allies Across Rubin Support Session
This session will be an informal but important session to help bring allies and people from marginalized groups together early in the meeting so that they can meet folks like them and other people on their side from the very start. The session will feature an exercise to identify needs from the different communities represented, and a discussion of how other community members could specifically help meet those needs. What are some of the things that are going right? What are some of the things that are going wrong?
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) will support Rubin Observatory in its operations phase to carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. They will also provide support for scientific research with the data. During operations, NSF funding is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with NSF, and DOE funding is managed by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), under contract by DOE. Rubin Observatory is operated by NSF's National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab) and SLAC.
NSF is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
