VEXAG Mentorship Event

 

The VEXAG Mentorship Science Activity Workgroup (SAW 16) and OVEN (Organization of Venus Early-career Networking) have organized a mentorship event to take place on Tuesday (3/12) at LPSC from 4 to 5 pm in the Creekside Park Room at the Marriot. The goal of the event is to pair early-career Venus researchers with mid- or senior-level researchers with similar interests in hopes that helpful advice can be given and received and to facilitate networking and future collaborations. We will ask that each pair answer some icebreaker questions before getting dinner and visiting the poster session that evening.

 

If you are interested in being a mentor or mentee, please complete this google form. Kelsey Crane (SAW 16 Lead) and Sara Port (OVEN Lead) will introduce mentors and mentees over email in the days leading up to the event.

2024B NASA Keck Call for Proposals

The NASA Exoplanet Science Institute is soliciting proposals to use NASA’s portion of time on the two 10m Keck Telescopes for the 2024B observing semester (August 1, 2024-January 31, 2025).

The opportunity to propose as a Principal Investigator for NASA time on the Keck Telescopes is open to all U.S.-based astronomers. Investigators from institutions outside of the U.S. may participate as Co-Investigators on proposals for NASA Keck time.

NASA intends the use of the Keck telescopes to be highly strategic in support of on-going space missions and/or high priority, long-term science goals. Proposals are sought in the following discipline areas: (1) investigations of our own SOLAR SYSTEM; (2) investigations in support of EXOPLANET EXPLORATION science goals and missions; (3) investigations in support of COSMIC ORIGINS science goals and missions; and (4) investigations in support of PHYSICS OF THE COSMOS science goals and missions. Direct mission support proposals in any of these scientific areas are also encouraged.

Deadline:  March 14: all proposals due to NExScI by 4 pm PDT
