Shubham Kanodia zoomed in to the planetary level to discuss "forbidden planets" —giant planets that form around low mass stars. Based on Kanodia's recent models, massive planets form as long as the disk is also massive. The star's size may not matter as much as we thought!

Sierra Grant's talk is all about the composition of protoplanetary disks. - Disks around Sunlike stars have a lot of water. -Disks around low mass objects are full of carbon. -Disks around planetary mass objects are also very carbon rich.
