Hello, MSA! I'd like to draw your attention to a session of interest to many of you: "*Transforming Earth and Planetary Science Through Data and Data Management: In Honor of MSA Distinguished Public Service Medal Awardee, Kerstin Lehnert*" *Session Description:* This session honors the groundbreaking contributions of Dr. Kerstin Lehnert, recipient of the MSA Distinguished Public Service Medal, to the fields of geoinformatics, data stewardship, and Earth and planetary science. Dr. Lehnert’s work has revolutionized the way scientific data is collected, curated, and shared, enabling groundbreaking research across disciplines. Her leadership in developing pivotal databases (e.g., EarthChem, PetDB, Astromaterials Data System) and her advocacy for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data practices have laid the foundation for the data-driven revolution in science. This session will focus on the transformative role of data, data infrastructure, data management, and data-driven applications in advancing Earth and planetary science. We invite contributions that highlight the integration of large-scale data resources, the development of innovative data management tools, the application of FAIR principles to enable new scientific discoveries, and data-driven scientific breakthroughs. Please consider submitting an abstract to this exciting and forward-looking session. We hope to see many of you there! Best, Shaunna -- *Shaunna M.
