Dust is ubiquitous in galaxies; it is formed during the creation of
supernovae and in the winds of evolved stars; it survives and grows in
the diffuse interstellar medium and congregates in molecular clouds
before coagulating to form comets, meteorites and planets in young
stellar objects. Carbonaceous materials, silicate dust and ices are
responsible for extinction, polarization, hidden matter and lots and
lots of physical and chemical processes between stars, within and
between galaxies. But what is the dust? What are the observational
uncertainties? How are observed discrepancies in radio, submm and
infrared to X-ray observations to be interpreted? Can meteoriticists,
mineralogists and chemists help? There has never been a better
opportunity to understand its properties given the forthcoming launch
of JWST for mid-infrared observations, JCMT, ALMA, and Herschel
results. NAM 2021 will be an excellent opportunity for the discussion
of JWST and the development collaborations between theorists,
observers, meteoriticists and chemists.
