B01.00001: Nuclear reactions for astrophysics: what's new? Invited Speaker: Filomena Nunes Reaction rates are one of the most essential ingredients in astrophysics modelling, whether for understanding our own sun, red giant stars, supernovae explosions or neutron star mergers. Many of the necessary rates cannot be obtained directly and indirect methods have been developed for this purpose. These methods couple laboratory measurements of complex reaction mechanisms with reaction theory to extract the astrophysically relevant information. In this presentation, I will discuss several reaction techniques used in this context and provide updates on important theoretical advances over the last decade that have impacted the field. I will also present a vision for future opportunities. |

B01.00002: People Like Me: Intersectional Physics Identity Development of Multiply-Marginalized Students Invited Speaker: Xandria R Quichocho Studies that dive into the ways physics students build their physics identity are typically conducted at Predominately White Institutions, and focus solely on the physics part of physics identity. While these investigations are immensely useful to understand one’s relationship to physics, very few of them include, or center, the intersections of gender, sexuality, or race that have a direct impact on physics identity. Additionally, the studies that do investigate social identities tend to generalize the experiences of “underrepresented minority students,” which leads to an erasure of many students unique and extraordinary lived experiences, as well as ignores students who may be overrepresented but still marginalized. |
