15. CONFERENCE: 20th Annual International Astrophysics Conference, October 31 - November 4, 2022, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
 
Anticipating that the COVID pandemic will be behind us by October 2022 (or at least endemic), we are pleased to announce that the 20th Annual International Astrophysics Conference will once again resume and be held at the La Posada Resort & Spa hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from October 31 to November 4. (Welcome Reception and Evening Registration begins Sunday, October 30).
 
The 20th AIAC is intended to be twofold - retrospective, celebrating the solar, space, and astrophysical accomplishments of the past 20 years as expressed in the 19 prior AIAC conferences, and a future perspective, i.e., examining some of the pressing questions that taxed our community over the past 20 years from the perspective of what we think we know and understand. Accordingly, the theme of the meeting will be From the Depths of the Solar Corona to the Darkness of Interstellar Space: A 20 Year Perspective. We will follow the usual format of 25-minute presentations punctuated by selected 40-minute invited talks that will develop both the retrospective and future themes in greater detail. Since the 19 previous meetings addressed the broad themes of the interaction of the outer heliosphere and the local interstellar medium, shock waves and nonlinear processes, energetic particles, particle acceleration and transport, the heating and physics of the solar corona and solar wind, turbulence processes, and much more, these will all be themes in the 20th iteration of the AIAC. A characteristic theme of previous meetings was the universality of many of the physical processes that informed the conference, and this will be a central element of the 20th celebration.
 
In the spirit of keeping all attendees as safe as possible, we will be limiting the number of attendees and implementing safety protocols.  In that vein, all meeting participants will be required to adhere to the following mandates:
 
Provide proof of being FULLY vaccinated against COVID-19 as required by the CDC.
 
N95 or KN95 masks only must be worn at all times during all conference functions.
 
Provide proof of a negative COVID test taken within 24 hours of the meeting.
 
Practice social distancing throughout the meeting.
 
Depending on ever-changing circumstances, these requirements are subject to change. Additional detail on COVID-19 safety requirements will be posted on the website.
 
Conference Website: www.icnsmeetings.com/conference/20thannual/index.html
 
RSVP Required:  RSVP your interest in attending to Gary Zank at garyp.zank at gmail.com.

16. CONFERENCE: iid2022: Statistical Methods for Event Data - Illuminating the Dynamic Universe, Nov. 15-19, 2022, Guntersville, Alabama, USA
 
Dear Colleagues:
 
We are pleased to announce the meeting "iid2022: Statistical Methods for Event Data - Illuminating the Dynamic Universe", to be held on Nov. 15-19, 2022, at the scenic Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge in Guntersville, Alabama (U.S.A.). Registration is now open at https://sites.google.com/uah.edu/iid2022, where you can also find a preliminary list of lecturers/speakers and additional information on the workshop.
 
"iid2022" is a Workshop and Winter School on Statistics, aiming to further and disseminate the use of statistical methods for astronomy and space science, the physical sciences, and related disciplines. The specific focus of this workshop is on statistical methods for event data, given their ubiquity in astronomy. As datasets become more complex and computers enable more sophisticated methods of analysis, it is useful to bring together data experts and mathematical statisticians to discuss how statistical methods are applicable to the data. The workshop will be organized in two morning/afternoon daily sessions, with time for discussion, collaboration, and completion of statistical sample problems based on astronomical data. The workshop will also address advances in the software available for statistical data analysis.
 
Each session is expected to feature
1) An introductory lecture of approximately 45 minutes, primarily aimed to explain the current state of the subject, with emphasis on mathematical statistics and sample applications.
2) Shorter contributed talks and discussions of the methods, with emphasis on recent progress and applications to astronomy, space science, and other fields. This is the venue for astronomers to contribute their use of statistical methods for event data.
3) Hands-on collaborative analysis of sample problems with advanced software. Problems will be presented in advance of the workshop, and they can be completed in collaboration with other participants and the instructors present at the workshop. This School component of the Workshop is aimed primarily at students and early-career postdocs.
 
Although this is intended as an in-person gathering, there is also an option for virtual remote participation. Students and early-career postdocs are especially encouraged to attend: in partnership with the National Science Foundation, we plan to support early-career participants through the award of lodging and travel grants, and the waiver of registration fees (see the website for details).
 
We hope to see you in Huntsville for a week dedicated to statistics and astronomy!
