<p>Paula, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> Thank you for inviting me to speak with the group today. Hopefully my perspective gave them some benefit. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> I also have a few follow up topics for your consideration...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> 1) Please let the group know that they are welcome to contact me directly with any follow up questions or questions they thought were too personal for a group discussion (<a href="mailto:scott.mackaro@vaisala.com" target="_blank">scott.mackaro@vaisala.com</a>). </p>
<p>2) During the session before the panel discussion, I heard you talk about books that may be beneficial for career development. I wanted to recommend '5' to you and the group (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Where-Will-Five-Years-Today/dp/1932319441" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Where-Will-Five-Years-Today/dp/1932319441</a>). I found it
quite useful and actually revisit it at least once a year. </p>
<p>3) IF you thought it would be valuable, Vaisala would be more than happy to host a visit to our office in Louisville to give a tour and have a discussion about the private sector with the group. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> Thanks again and be safe in the snow. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>SM <br>

<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hi all,</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thank you again for agreeing to participate in our panel discussion. The Title of the discussion will be "Career Tracks for Ph.D.'s" and each of you is representing a different track.
The nice thing is that some of you have had experience in more than one track, which will certainly enrich the discussion. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We have an hour slotted for this discussion as part of our ASP retreat. The audience will be primarily postdocs, but graduate students at NCAR are also invited. We invite all the postdocs
at NCAR and UCAR, so it won't be just ASP.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We'll have each of you give an introduction about yourself and what you do. Maybe tell us a bit about what your day is like, and anything else that you think is important about your
career track. At that point, we'll open it up for questions. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
