We are pleased to welcome Prof. David Stevenson from Caltech (https://www.gps.caltech.edu/content/david-j-dave-stevenson) for a Planet-Z meeting at UniZH on 20th September.

Stevenson is a renowned planetary scientist who investigates planet formation and planetary interiors. In particular, he works on applying fluid mechanics and magnetohydrodynamics to understand the internal structure and evolution of planets and moons.

Stevenson will give a talk in the morning of 20th September entitled:

Everyone involved in PlanetS is invited to attend.

In addition, we plan to have a few short talks and several posters.
