AAS-DPS/EPSC 2016 Meeting / Pasadena

Here are some photos from the 2016 joint meeting of the American Astronomical Society - Division for Planetary Science, and the European Planetary Science Conference -- DPS/EPSC, held in Pasadena, California in October 2016.

I've taken photos at a number of DPS meetings in the past. This time I was going to just attend sessions and not take any photos at all! But I did break out the camera at Talent Night, and for a couple of the prize lectures.

My photos from previous DPS meetings: DC area 2015, Denver 2013, Nantes 2011, Puerto Rico 2009.
