Charlie Conroy (Harvard University)  "Assembling our Galaxy"

The standard cosmological model predicts that our Galaxy has been sculpted by the hierarchical assimilation of many smaller galaxies. I will review ongoing work aimed at uncovering this assembly process with data from the H3 Stellar Spectroscopic Survey. I will present the motivation and scientific highlights of the survey and prospects for the future.
