These past few weeks have been heart wrenching, difficult and painful, in so many ways.
The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) is the managing organization for many ground-based telescopes for National Science Foundation (NSF), both extant and under construction. We note that the launch of the Starlink system may have impacts on the observational capabilities of these facilities.
AURA is pleased to share that Debra Elmegreen, Chair of AURA Board of Directors, has been elected as a new member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
