Bailey Presentation on Astronomy Education Practice and Research

Janelle Bailey gave a keynote presentation at the first-ever International Astronomical Union Commission C1 Conference on Astronomy Education: Bridging Research and Practice, on September 16 in Garching, Germany. The talk, entitled “AER Pathways: Recent Research and Future Developments,” opened the conference after welcoming remarks from the IAU General Secretary and the conference organizers. Although the conference was small, with only about 120 people there, it was filled to the capacity of the host site, the European Southern Observatory’s Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre.
