The Telescope and Instruments Performance Summary (TIPS)/JWST Informal Monthly (JIM) Meetings are intended to provide a concise overview of the current state of JWST and HST, their scientific instruments and related topics of interest.
TIPS/JIM Meetings are generally held on the third Thursday of each month at 10:00 a.m. in the STScI Auditorium. Occasionally, e.g. during SMOV periods, these meetings may be held more frequently.
The pages associated with each TIPS/JIM meeting contain links to both a single PDF file of that meeting (agenda, presentations, and questions & answers) as well as the individual presentations in their source formats.
