Dear Members, This is a reminder that the deadline for nominations for The Meteoritical Society Service Award is Jan. 31. Please consider nominating your colleagues who have made contributions appropriate for this award. The Service award, established in late 2005, *honors members who have advanced the goals of the Society to promote research and education in meteoritics and planetary science in ways other than by conducting scientific research*. Examples of activities that could be honored by the award include, but are not limited to, education and public outreach, service to the Society and the broader scientific community, and acquisition, classification and curation of new samples for research. This award may be given annually, and should be given at least every other year. Winners will be granted lifetime membership in the Meteoritical Society. Please send nominations to Erin Walton (Chair of the Membership Committee) and copied to me at metsocsec@gmail.com -- Michael K. Weisberg Dept.
