title = "3D Stellar Cartography: Mapping the Local Group in the Mid-Infrared using Variable Stars",
abstract = "In this review I discuss the past, present, and future Stellar Cartography programs performed as part of the Warm Spitzer mission (the Carnegie Hubble Program, the Carnegie RR Lyrae Program, and SMHASH), and how the field will progress in the next decade with JWST. I discuss the advantages of performing variable star studies in the mid-infrared, and explain why we must treat galaxies as 3D objects if we want a truly accurate and precise distance scale. ",

note = "This meeting is in celebration of the scientific career of Jeremy Mould. The meeting recognizes his seminal contributions to the subjects of stellar populations and the cosmic distance scale. In the era of GAIA, JWST, and ELTs, both subjects stand to experience dramatic advances enabled by these new facilities. The aim of this meeting will be to consider the current status of stellar populations and the distance scale, and to look forward in planning how to exploit the opportunities these facilities offer.; Stellar Populations and the Distance Scale ; Conference date: 11-09-2017 Through 15-09-2017",
