The academic flagship event of UMBC's Homecoming celebration is GRIT-X, a series of TED-style talks given by accomplished UMBC faculty. This year, the organizers invited prior GRIT-X speakers to a post-event showcase where they could promote their work. After the event on October 24, 2024, ESI director and Physics professor Dr. Vanderlei Martins and ESI research scientist Dr. Brent McBride spoke to attendees about their experiences building and supporting the HARP2 instrument on the NASA PACE mission. Additionally, one of the GRIT-X talks this year was led by fellow Physics professor Dr. Todd Pittman. Learn more about the event at https://research.umbc.edu/grit-x/.
