The first order of business at #ExoPAG27 is a NASA Headquarters Exoplanet Exploration Program update from Hannah #JangCondell
We have a new division director in Astrophysics. From #NASAGoddard we have Mark #Clampin . He makes some introductory welcome remarks. #ExoPAG27
Another new leader for us is Joshua #Pepper who is the new deputy program scientist for #ExEP #ExoPAG27. And a quick ad for joining the EC and the job ad at #NASAGoddard for an #astrobiologist
We're now being shown the R&A selection rates. Important to note here is that #XRP has one of the lowest selection rates (17%). Third to #Pioneers and #FINESST #ExoPAG27
Another interesting tidbit is that #XRP proposals have been getting bigger (budget wise). So this has been one of the factors constraining selection rates #ExoPAG27
Shout out to the #HabitableWorldsObservatory #ExoPAG27 Naturally we're all very interested in it.
@mayorgalc Your conference posting made me scared for a second and I had to check if maybe I simply forgot to go to work this morning but, no, it is indeed a Saturday... Why are y'all at work on the weekend?
