[Hearts-of-GOLD] FW: [GOLD-network] Sparks for Change workshop

Wed Dec 15 13:53:57 MST 2021

Sim et al.

This program is not restricted or even focused on academia. All professional geoscientists are welcome. A lot of us in the academic world certainly use language that seems to favor that realm though. Thank you for seeking clarification.

Hi Grady,

The information suggests that this is geared toward people in academia.
 Would this be open to those of us in government labs not affiliated with academic departments?
