The Rice solar group recently attended the 2018 SHINE Workshop in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Alison, Anthony, Revati, Shah and Will presented the following posters on their research:

• “Simulation of Exoplanet Host Star Magnetic Activity on Stellar Cycle Timescales”, Alison Farrish
• “Predicting Radio Emission of Exoplanets in Enhanced Stellar Wind Environments”, Anthony Sciola
• “Predicting the dynamics and spectral evolution of a C-class solar flare with a numerical and forward modeling approach”, Revati Mendage
• “Understanding the Energy Balance of Transition Region Structures observed by Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph”, Shah Bahauddin
• “Using Synthetic and Observed Timelags to Constrain Nanoflare Heating Frequency in Active Region Cores”, Will Barnes

Will and Steve, in collaboration with Nicki Viall at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, chaired a session on “Signatures of Time-dependent Heating in Active Regions and the Slow Solar Wind”. Additionally, David and Anthony chaired a session on “Observational Signatures of Star-Planet Interactions”.
