BUQ Project Meeting 6/17/2026

Wednesday 17 Jun 2026, 14:00 → 15:00 US/Pacific

We will ask those who have submitted proposals to the Genesis Mission RFA to briefly discuss their proposals.  The goal is for all to think about what additional collaboration/work could be possible for future BUQ work or a Phase II proposal.

14:00 → 15:00 Discussion of Genesis Proposals

Here are the proposed talks (5-10 min, 1-2 slides). If we run out of time, we will save the talks for the next meeting.
