Florida Star and Planet Formation Days
These one day workshops bring together the Florida star formation
community. Meetings are held every few months and alternate between
the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville and the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, with occasional meetings at ERAU in Daytona.
