CEDAR email: LAST CALL: 2024 CEDAR workshop poster judge volunteers

[Zettergren, Matthew D]

LAST CALL for 2024 CEDAR poster competition judges!  We are still in need of ~10 folks to help out with this (details below).  Please email me (zettergm at erau.edu<mailto:zettergm at erau.edu>) if you are able to participate on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Cheers,
-Matt Zettergren

CEDAR colleagues,

First - thanks to everyone who has already volunteered to help with the judging this year.  I’ll be sending out a set of instructions in the next week and then hopefully assignments shortly thereafter; the original request for volunteers is copied below.

***Please note*** We are still in need of quite a few more volunteers to help judge the >100 student posters so, if you haven’t already,  please consider volunteering or encouraging some of your coworkers to serve in this capacity.

Cheers,
-Matt Zettergren (on behalf of this year’s head judges)

CEDAR colleagues,
The 2024 CEDAR workshop student poster competition has a very large number of posters and the head judges would like to request volunteers for judging activities.  The posters are split into mesosphere lower thermosphere (MLT) and ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) categories and each judge to reviews 4-6 posters from one of those categories in addition to participating in deliberations to select winners for the day.  The judging process begins at noon on Tuesday or Wednesday of the workshop (depending on MLT vs. IT) and usually lasts roughly until dinner time so it is a substantial time commitment but also a very rewarding experience and important part of the workshop.  Judges typically serve for one of these days and should be able to mostly schedule their judging responsibilities around specific workshops since the first round of judging can be done with posters that have be uploaded to the CEDAR website.

If you would like to participate in the judging please email Matt Zettergren (zettergm at erau.edu<mailto:zettergm at erau.edu>) and indicate your preference of MLT vs. IT or which day you are available.  If possible also indicate a basic area of expertise (e.g. “thermosphere modeling” or “radio instruments” etc.) to help us with the assignment process.  Meals are provided for poster judges, so please indicate if you have any dietary restrictions.

Thank you very much for your help with this!

Sincerely,
-Matt Zettergren (on behalf of this year's head judges)
