It is learnt that the "microsymposium58" will be followed by a conference on lunar and planetary science. According to the organiser of the symposium, Professor Jim Head of Brown University, Yu Guobin has already received approval from the Chinese government to attend the symposium, however, the U.S. government in Beijing has not given him permission to attend the symposium.
