If anything also from IIAS https://astronauticsinstitute.org/ let me know @shawnapandya @urbankoi @abegum 
I know Aaron isnt yet an AWG member, but maybe its time for me to reach out to him. It was great to meet him in Texas last November at UAustin w/ @Dr.Overbey

Great suggestions. I’ll definitely add most the first ones - especially AbSciCon, since @fumimuratani & @alexa.sadier are quite active there, and there be more space biology/health growth there in years to come. Cheers!
