She discussed several aspects - see the rectangle labels - of the complicated stellar evolution required to actually form a neutron star-neutron star merger. She’s conducted a lot of great work in this field. #aas245.

Final talk of the briefing: “Exploring the Sun's Active Regions in the Moments Before Flares” by Emily Mason (Predictive Science Inc.) It’s about predicting when solar flares will occur. What “tells” (like in poker) are there? #aas245

Arney points out that HWO will not only address the huge question posed in the title but questions in many other fields - it’s a super Hubble. #aas245

Daniel Scolnic (Duke University) #aas245 This is surely one of the hottest topics in cosmology. He says the Hubble tension is now a Hubble Crisis!

Martin Weisskopf is explaining some of the history of IXPE. They proposed but didn’t get selected, however the one that won was cancelled because of cost overrun. It’s a tough field!
