 ebinar:\n\nEvery decade\, the National Academy of Sciences\, at the reques
 t of the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, the Department of Energy\, an
 d NASA\,  undertakes a survey of astronomy and astrophysics.   The purpose
  of the survey is to identify the most exciting science questions for the 
 coming decade and to prioritize which telescopes the federal government sh
 ould invest in to best address those questions.  Previous decadal surveys 
 have recommended and ultimately led to some of your favorite national  tel
 escopes:  e.g.\,  the Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Array.    
  \n\nA second goal of the survey is to assess the state of the profession\
 , e.g.\, the diversity of the field\, the balance of funding across large 
 and small projects\, and other related topics.   In this talk I will descr
 ibe the decadal survey process and the major recommendations of the 2020 D
 ecadal Survey.   The scientific opportunities in the coming decade are tre
 mendously exciting and cover topics ranging from the search for life on ot
 her planets to studies of collisions of black holes and neutron stars with
  both gravitational waves and light.    The project recommendations made b
 y the 2020 Decadal survey are likely to shape the major astronomical proje
 cts that NSF and NASA undertake in the coming decades.\n\nAbout Dr. Eliot 
 Quataert:  \n\nEliot Quataert is a Professor of Astrophysical Sciences and
  the Charles A. Young Professor of Astronomy at Princeton University.   Qu
 ataert is an astrophysics theorist who works on a wide range of problems\,
  including stars and black holes\, plasma astrophysics\, and how galaxies 
 form.  Artist’s impression of L 98-59 b.He has received a number of nation
 al awards for his research\, including the Warner Prize of the AAS\, the P
 ackard Fellowship\, a Simons Investigator award from the Simons Foundation
 \, and elected membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and
  the National Academy of Sciences.   Quataert is also a highly regarded te
 acher and public lecturer.\n\nThe event will also be streaming live on You
 Tube\, but please note that questions asked over the NSN-members-only Zoom
  Q&A will be prioritized.
