Dear colleagues,

It was great to see many of you at NAM this year and online at the joint UKSP-MIST business lunch. It was an excellent (and mainly sunny) week in Hull, and our community planned and contributed to many parallel sessions (24 hours) ranging over all topics from dynamos to the solar wind. 

We thank Dr Stephanie Yardley for her excellent solar plenary at NAM discussing the solar flare and CME events in May!

UKSP Early Career Researcher (ECR) Poster Prize

During NAM, we offered an ECR poster prize, and we are happy to congratulate our winner: Samantha Cook (Glasgow), “Observational Analysis of Line Formation Heights in the Flaring Chromosphere”
The winner receives a monetary prize (thanks to the RAS) and an opportunity to write an article about their work in A&G magazine.

NAM Experience

If you have feedback about your experience at NAM this year, then please send it to the chair (natasha.jeffrey@northumbria.ac.uk) and/or deputy chair (m.korsos@sheffield.ac.uk). This will help with the organisation of future meetings.

We hope you all have a restful summer!

Kind regards,
UKSP Council
