Science and the next administration:  your voice needed

UCAR has teamed with the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the Weather Coalition to produce a document aimed at familiarizing this year’s presidential contenders with key issues in weather and climate.  The website http://www.ucar.edu/td includes recommendations and backup material on how those recommendations would be implemented.

Also included on the site is a portal where community members can suggest  nominations for key science-related political appointments in the next administration. Those who reply should ensure that the person they nominate would be willing to serve in a given position. These nominations will be held in confidence; they will not be published for the community but will be provided to transition teams with the permission of the nominee.
