Carl Sagan's 90th Birthday Celebration

I aided in planning Carl Sagan's 90th birthday celebration, which reached hundreds of in-person guests and thousands more online.

Opening the event was Prof. Sagan's longtime collaborator and widow, Emmy and Peabody award-winning Ann Druyan. She co-wrote the original “Cosmos” series alongside Sagan, co-created the motion picture “Contact,” and is writer, producer, and director of the award-winning second and third seasons of “Cosmos.”

Carl Sagan Institute team members from the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and Agriculture and Life Sciences then offered talks on their exciting research.
