We extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the >350 in-person and online attendees, as well as the hard-working organizers and admin team who made the #PRIMA2025 working meeting a smashing success! 🫶🏽🎊

We hope you're inspired to envision new possibilities for using @prima-probe.bsky.social in your work.

We asked #prima2025 participants to share how a far-infrared telescope like @prima-probe.bsky.social would illuminate their research. They had a lot of wishes!📝🌠

Jed McKinney of @utaustin.bsky.social wants to use the proposed @prima-probe.bsky.social far-infrared space telescope to peer deep into the hearts of galaxies and better understand how they formed. prima.ipac.caltech.edu

Associate Professor Ilse Cleeves from the University of Virginia says @prima-probe.bsky.social would help her study how exoplanets form, how much water vapor is available during planet formation, and how many planets are out there!

#PRIMA2025 Day 2!

Today's topics: Dust and galaxy evolution 🌌, debris disks and solar system☀️, interstellar medium and polarization☄️, and AGN and star formation✨! prima.ipac.caltech.edu

#PRIMA2025 Working Meeting: Day 1!

We're welcoming >350 scientists to discuss
@prima-probe.bsky.social's possibilities! The response to the three-day hybrid event was so outstanding we moved it to a bigger venue. Today's topics: project overview, protoplanetary disks, time domain astro, & stars.

Next up at #PRIMA2025 is BU prof @catherineespaillat.bsky.social talking about how PRIMA can fill in the gaps in our understanding of protoplanetary disk evolution

Title slide from Jenny Bergner's talk on disk ices

A great afternoon of talks at #PRIMA2025 kicking off with Berkeley prof Jenny Bergner giving us an exciting sneak peek into what PRIMA can do for studies of planet formation
