Still reflecting on last month’s #AAAR2025 Annual Conference! 📸 Here’s a look back at some highlights.
Mark your calendars for next year: October 26–30, 2026 in Pasadena, CA—we’re already counting down the days! 📅
💭 What was your favorite part of this year's event?
Still catching my breath after a wonderful #AAAR2025 meeting last week in Buffalo, NY. It is always to nice to reconnect with such a kind and welcoming community. I was proud to have 3 presentations from my group, including PhD students Sofie Schwink and Rileigh Robertson.
#AAAR2025 was one for the books!
Our scientists delivered six presentations & showcased two posters, sharing their latest research. Meanwhile, our booth team had a great time connecting with many members of the aerosol research community.
Thanks to all who connected with us. See you next year!
👏👏👏Thank you for your leadership and service to AAAR, Rachel!! #AAAR2025 @americanaerosol.bsky.social
Winner - Ryan X. Ward
Closing out the conference with an amazing pre-recorded plenary by Rich Moore, student awards, and the Juan Fernandez de la Mora Prize which goes to @ryanward.bsky.social !! #AAAR2025
Is this the best AAAR ever? Many are saying this. Ok maybe just I am saying this #AAAR2025
Well, today's the end of my first AAAR conference and, honestly, I think this was the most productive and beneficial set of interactions with other researchers than all the other conferences I've attended over the last four years.

All-time great plenary this morning on aerosol monitoring networks in the US and globally by Ann Dillner #AAAR2025
Fantastic plenary presented by Ann Dillner on speciation monitoring networks. So. Much. Data. #AAAR2025
#AAAR2025 day 3! One last one from the group: Seamus Frey will present a poster on tracers of VOCs oxidized sequentially by different oxidants (9AC.3)
Thursday of #AAAR2025, our group has two more talks both in the afternoon part of the aerosol chemistry session.

This was the big moment tonight, NOT 50 aerosol scientists doing the Cupid Shuffle, a moment for which there is NOT video evidence so don't go looking for it 😇 #AAAR2025
"Passing the gavel" slide... Probably a COVID era innovation that stuck
Suresh as Amy and Rachel look on adoringly
The big moment at the business meeting tonight: Amy passes the gavel to Suresh, our new President! #AAAR2025
