NASA is seeking members for four new advisory committees:
Astrophysics Advisory Committee (APAC)
Earth Science Advisory Committee (ESAC)
Heliophysics Advisory Committee (HPAC)
Planetary Science Advisory Committee (PAC)
Unfortunately, people who are not part of the global warming establishment may not be qualified. The following qualifications/experience are highly desirable in nominees, and should be clearly presented in their self-nomination packages:
- Substantial (7-10 years post-Ph.D.) research experience including publications in the scientific field of the committee for which they are nominated, or comparable experience;
- Leadership in scientific and/or education and public outreach fields as evidenced by award of prizes, invitation to national and international meetings as speaker, organizer of scientific meetings/workshops, or comparable experience;
- Participation in NASA programs either as member of NASA mission science team, Research and Analysis program, membership on an advisory/working group or a review panel, or comparable experience;
- Good knowledge of NASA programs in the scientific field of the committee for which they are applying, including the latest NASA Science Plan (available as a link from http://science.nasa.gov/about-us/science-strategy/); and,
- Knowledge of the latest Decadal Survey conducted by the National Academies or other relevant advisory reports for the scientific field of the committee.
