*Dear members of the Meteoritical Society, * *With the generous support of the Jessberger Family in 2019, the Meteoritical Society established a new award aimed at recognizing outstanding contributions to isotope cosmochemistry by a mid-career woman scientist. * *We encourage members to nominate outstanding candidates by January 15, 2020. As for all of our Society awards, it is crucial for the award committee to receive a substantial number of nominations. The Meteoritical Society Council will select the nominee at the Annual Meeting in Glasgow this year. The nominee will be announced at the Business Meeting, and the award will be presented at the Awards Ceremony at the Chicago meeting in 2021.* *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. The award will be presented every other year beginning in 2021. The award comes with prize money of USD 1,500. Eligibility will include both Members and Non-members of the Society. * *Details about the Jessberger Award, the committee, and the nomination process can be found at * *https://meteoritical.org/society/leadership/jessberger-award-committee <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fmeteoritical.org-252Fsociety-252Fleadership-252Fjessberger-2Daward-2Dcommittee-26data-3D02-257C01-257Csara.russell-2540nhm.ac.uk-257Cb184806129d045c4d2e008d779512e96-257C73a29c014e78437fa0d4c8553e1960c1-257C1-257C1-257C637111261888769542-26sdata-3D-252F5zorxtJrb9D5dpDTQIKcOxTa-252BTMYy8HtmqgN7qU8ZY-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMFaQ&c=l45AxH-kUV29SRQusp9vYR0n1GycN4_2jInuKy6zbqQ&r=jL1ftChQPkQk2jPUS-nFtilMKSim20uTizVyCj6j0Y4&m=nvC6JxYhaNyULVjU1NpQVzDYTRl3L5GhSsWLI1OgStE&s=KSnxNmlNPq98_phQOBRyG_Ndvv0MRr6heJsSSBgoNB4&e=>* *and* *https://meteoritical.org/?cID=366 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fmeteoritical.org-252F-253FcID-253D366-26data-3D02-257C01-257Csara.russell-2540nhm.ac.uk-257Cb184806129d045c4d2e008d779512e96-257C73a29c014e78437fa0d4c8553e1960c1-257C1-257C1-257C637111261888769542-26sdata-3Dc-252F7-252BB5DNeMgzg3MuM-252BVfRZaI9-252BcoJfFOB-252Fd-252B-252FOMBLME-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMFaQ&c=l45AxH-kUV29SRQusp9vYR0n1GycN4_2jInuKy6zbqQ&r=jL1ftChQPkQk2jPUS-nFtilMKSim20uTizVyCj6j0Y4&m=nvC6JxYhaNyULVjU1NpQVzDYTRl3L5GhSsWLI1OgStE&s=CZAWgqSqwaFkAlcwi6WtQ_n-m8mVUlm7Q2Qvpz1aNbs&e=>* *The committee is looking forward to your nominations, which should be send to the chair: Mario.Trieloff@geow.uni-heidelberg.de <Mario.Trieloff@geow.uni-heidelberg.de>* *Best regards,* *Meenakshi Wadhwa* *President, The Meteoritical Society* *Director and Professor* [image: signature_1343023754] -- Munir Humayun Secretary of the Meteoritical Society, Professor Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science & National High Magnetic Field Laboratory Florida State University 1800 E.
