Dear Colleagues:
This is a quick email to ask you personally to *consider nominating a worthy candidate for the Yentsch-Schindler Award for early-career aquatic scientists presented annually by the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO).* The Yentsch-Schindler Award recognizes excellence in limnology and oceanography by an early-career scientist (within 11 yr post-PhD) who have demonstrated balanced contributions to research, training, and broader societal issues. The processes is simple (2 page nomination + 3 letters), and the *deadline is approaching (15 October)*, so I am taking a bit of time to identify potential nominees and nominators and asking that you forward qualified candidates. *Who do you know fits this description well and that would be a great nominee?* As member of the Y-S committee, I cannot directly participate in any nomination, however, I am mandated to solicit nominations and feel it is important to give the process as 'nudge'. Please help us out by nominating someone who is deserving of this recognition! The process is entirely electronic now, so you can submit the documents via the following awards link http://www.aslo.org/forms/awards.html Additional information on the ASLO awards can be found at http://www.aslo.org/information/awards.html *Thanks very much for considering this request.* ASLO Yentsch-Schindler Awards Committee Thad Scott, Emily Bernhardt, Laura Bristow, Josep Gasol, & John Kominoski -- John Stephen Kominoski Assistant Professor Department of Biological Sciences and Southeast Environmental Research Center Florida International University 11200 SW 8th Street Miami, Florida 33199, USA Email: jkomi...@fiu.edu Office: +1 305.348.7117 Lab: +1 305.348.6512 Fax: +1 305.348.1986 kominoskilab.wordpress.com
