The Core Science Keynotes series is an ongoing element of the AMS Annual Meeting. For the AMS 2017 Annual Meeting, the talks are intended to highlight, discipline by discipline, the history, foundational knowledge, and research challenges that drive our field forward as a whole, as well as providing information on and addressing the topic of the greatest observational needs in the subdisciplines of each particular conference with the specific or closely related field. Each keynote speaker will summarize the state of current knowledge in their field in a manner accessible to all AMS disciplines. They will also describe future research directions, the challenges in pursuing them, and the expected benefits to both the discipline and to the Society’s broad science and applications directions including career opportunities within the enterprise. The Core Science Keynotes will be linked as a series in the program so that interested attendees may gain broad exposure to the scientific forefront of work being done in our community and knowledge of other career opportunities by attending several or all of these presentations.
