DESCRIPTION:Interstellar physics from milli to Mega parsec\nThe Interstell
 ar Institute was created as an answer to the inherent difficulty of studyi
 ng the utterly complex and diverse physics of the evolution of diffuse bar
 yonic matter. The I2 sessions are designed as opportunities to bring toget
 her numerical\, theoretical\, methodological\, and observational perspecti
 ves through close interaction among researchers across the field. The goal
  is to identify and discuss key interstellar problems at all scales\, exam
 ining the physical processes that govern the global evolution of gas and d
 ust. The Interstellar Institute will reconvene in 2026 to continue its exp
 loration.\nDiffuse baryons in the Universe reside in the interstellar\, ci
 rcumgalactic\, intergalactic\, and intracluster media. Across these enviro
 nments\, baryonic matter evolves over many orders of magnitude in temperat
 ure\, density\, and velocity. Observational diagnostics and numerical appr
 oaches vary widely in order to characterize matter from the warm–hot int
 ergalactic medium (WHIM) down to dense gravitationally bound cores. Compar
 ing techniques\, questions\, and results across scales and environments is
  profoundly enriching\, providing critical insight into the physical chann
 els through which matter and energy flow along the astrophysical cascade.\
 nAt II8\, we return to the vision outlined in The Grand Cascade: to juxtap
 ose expertise across diffuse environments and reveal the hidden coherence 
 of the “great power law in the sky.” By connecting scales\, methods\, 
 and communities\, we seek to refine our broader picture of cosmic structur
 e formation.\nScientific Organizing Committee\nSusan Clark | Stanford Univ
