We will have a full slate of three talks. Join us to learn about some of the oldest dated objects in the Solar System (refractory inclusions), biotic responses to climate change, and the role of the James Webb space telescope in planetary science. If you join us at the Cosmos Club, please remember to bring your Covid vaccination card. It will be checked. Non members are welcome. Details of the talk, including the Zoom link, will be sent to members shortly. Contact Michael Ackerson (ackersonm[at]si.edu] for the Zoom link if you do not have it.
