[Atmob-discuss] Heidi Hammel

[Michael Brown]

Yes, I remember attending a lecture by Heidi Hammel during that period about 
Neptune, probably at the Museum of Science.  My daughter (now in college) 
was about 5 years old and raised her hand during the question period, and 
asked, "Does Neptune have a moon?"  One of the cuter memories from her 
childhood.

By the way there was an article about Heidi Hammel in Newsweek, a couple of 
weeks ago.  Apparently she is no longer at MIT.  I forget where she is, 
Baltimore/DC area I think (maybe Space Telescope Science Institute).
