Dear members of the Meteoritical Society, In 2019, the Meteoritical Society established a new award for outstanding contributions by a mid-career, female isotope geochemist, the Jessberger Award. The President and Council encourage members to nominate outstanding candidates by January 15, 2020. It is crucial for the success of the Jessberger Award and in order to honor the generous support by the Jessberger Family that the award committee receives a substantial number of nominations. The Meteoritical Society Council will select the nominee at the Annual Meeting in Glasgow. The nominee would be announced at the Business Meeting, and the award presented at the Awards Ceremony at the Chicago meeting. To be eligible, a candidate needs to be a female isotope cosmochemist who has received her doctorate at least 10 years and not more than 20 years before the year she is selected by the Council and whose scientific track record shows great promise. The award is presented every other year beginning in 2020. The award comes with prize money of USD 1,500. Eligibility will include both Members and Non-members of the Society.
