Science

Science Working Groups (SWGs) will be led by the following:

Cradle of Life: Lee Hartmann, Dave Wilner
Formation/Evolution of galaxies: Alice Shapley, Min Yun
Fundamental Physics: Avery Broderick, Maura McLaughlin
Cosmology & Cosmic Dawn: John Kovac, Sarah Church

This workshop will be structured around key science themes that reflect priorities identified in the New Worlds, New Horizons Decadal Survey, and are likely to be important in the forthcoming decade, and that require observations at radio/millimeter/sub-millimeter wavelengths to address.

Oral presentations and posters are listed below, with the following codes, under "Type":

(I) - Invited

(P) - Poster
