      </div>
      <div>If appropriate, would you please share the following
        announcements with post-docs and graduate students that you
        think might be interested? &nbsp;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.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>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.</div>
      <div><br>
