The Science Organizing Committee (SOC) plays a vital role in shaping the Keck Science Meeting. This volunteer group is responsible for reviewing and selecting talks, posters, and breakout session proposals; arranging plenary presentations; and developing the overall meeting schedule.
The SOC includes representatives from Keck Observatory’s partner institutions and reflects the collaborative spirit of our scientific community.
