Panel 2: A panel discussion of solar system bodies

Solar system bodies house an exotic mixture of organic molecules that span from the simplest of organic molecules to amazingly complex having hundreds of atoms. The organic inventory of solar system bodies from meteorotes, asteroids, satellites and planets will be discussed by this panel. The broad topics of the discussion session will include Hydrocarbon worlds: Titan and beyond, OSIRES-Rex and the Organic inventory of asteroids and Organic inventory of Enceladus etc.

Some topics and questions that will be posed to the panel include:

1. How can we enhance our understanding of the chemistry and physics of solar system bodies to improve the interpretation of observational data especially in the JWST era?

2. What are the primary challenges and opportunities in the field of molecular spectroscopic measurements and ab initio studies for solar system studies?

3. How can we create an inclusive workplace environment that encompasses a broad range of perspectives and backgrounds?
