2020 ESS PI Meeting Research Summary

The 2020 ESS PI meeting was postponed until 2021. A Virtual All-Hands Meeting was held May 19-20 to provide updates to the ESS community. The first day’s session focused on programmatic updates from TES and SBR as well as from other joint efforts (e.g., ESS-DIVE, etc.). The second day’s session included plenary science and programmatic talks.
