<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:11.75pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Scientific use of the electromagnetic spectrum is critical for the advancement of knowledge across a wide
range of disciplines including astronomy, earth and atmospheric science, space physics and more. With the continuing growth of wireless technology from 5G to 6G and NextG coupled with unprecedented and rapid growth in broadband satellites and IOT devices,
the chances have rapidly increased for use conflicts through such events as in-band and adjacent band interference, along with an overall growth in background noise through aggregate interference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:11.75pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">It is important for the community to understand the impact of this increase in commercial usage of the
radio spectrum on scientific discovery. We invite researchers to share their stories of harmful interference and its impact on their science. This session will serve as a forum to exchange information regarding emerging interference challenges, and to discuss
potential mitigation strategies that preserve scientific use.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
