Hi Paula and Susan -


If appropriate, would you please share the following announcements with 
post-docs and graduate students that you think might be interested? 
  These NSF-sponsored workshops are very good (I actually participated 
in one as an early career faculty person and found it invaluable) and 
the webinars might provide a nice way to get a sample of what happens at 
the workshop.

The organizers are very interested in increasing the number of people 
from Atmospheric and related sciences who attend, so I think your 
program's participants would be especially welcome.

Thanks very much,
Raj
