The American Geophysical Union Cryosphere Sciences section is hosting a conversation between early career researchers and US funding agency program officers, to be hosted on Zoom from 12-2pm Eastern on Friday, May 28th.

This will be a rather informal event, but we hope to give ECRs time to ask any questions of NSF and NASA program officers during this challenging time. Topics will include ECR-specific impacts relating to COVID-19, all of our ongoing work to build a more just, equal, and inclusive research community, and open question and answer. We will liberally define early career and welcome all those interested in participating.

Please register & complete the pre-event survey to aid in guiding discussion.
