We’ve just returned from the Presolar Grain Workshop, held at U. Chicago this year. It was a fantastic weekend — I learned a lot, developed some exciting new ideas for research projects, and made new friends. A highlight was our dinner *inside* the Field Museum, a tour of the U Chicago CHILI lab, and seeing some great meteorites up close (including a ~200 kg pallasite and a beautiful lunar meteorite).
