I am honored to announce that I will be a guest lecturer this coming Sunday for the "UCLA Meteorite Gallery Lecture Series." These lectures are always super informative and cater to everyone who has an interest in meteorites. I certainly hope to follow in the footsteps of those before me.
Title: Our Meteorite Community: How a Unique Symbiosis Expands our Knowledge of Meteoritics and Planetary Science Registration: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEqduyupj0vGd3S0_52FsbHTbPjYr0sZQUj When: 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time on July 17th, 2022 Abstract: Meteorites represent one of the most unique collectables in our solar system, and not just for their "out of this world" origins. Their ability to be subdivided and still maintain scientific and monetary value forms the basis of the unique symbiosis that exists between the scientist/researcher/curator and the hunter/dealer/collector communities. For this relationship to expand and strengthen requires not only care but understanding as well. This presentation will provide insights into how meteorites are brought to market and science, the positive roles of hunters, dealers and collectors in the advancement of science, and the motivations driving the various parties along the chains of custody. The goal of the presentation is to increase mutual respect and understanding by addressing complex issues impacting our communities so that we may work more closely together. Regards to all, Mendy Ouzillou
