Speaker Bios:
Justin is a new professor of astronomy at Texas A&M as of January 2022. Before that he was a postdoc at UT-Austin (boo, hiss), got his PhD at the University of Arizona, and his undergrad degree at Iowa State University. Justin grew up in Nebraska, spending summers working on his grandpa’s Christmas tree farm (they don’t just grow that way) and these days can be found biking around BCS for fun and transportation.
