News4Crews [March 15, 2022] — Meet an Expert from Europa Clipper!! (And don’t forget Checkpoint Challenge MO-05)

G’day, ROADS on Icy Worlds crews!

This is a BIG WEEK, with both a Meet an Expert chat with a flight software engineer from the Europa Clipper mission and a Checkpoint Challenge deadline.

Slides from the March 9 Office Hour session

The slides that Dr. Snowden presented at our March 9 Office Hour session are now available! These are a great refresher on Icy Worlds MO-05, the yeast ID card, in particular and, in general, on how to design a good experiment.
