Due to growing travel restrictions and concerns regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, the DESI2020 Collaboration Meeting, originally scheduled for March 9-12 in Tucson, AZ, was held completely remotely. The online format of the meeting was very successful and many important discussions centered on early data from commissioning and preparing for the upcoming Survey Validation.
The picture shows a small group of collaboration members that were “stranded” in Tucson before travel restrictions were put in place. They practiced social distancing in the Sonoran Desert!
