DEI Committee Program The AGU Biogeosciences Section’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is holding a series of virtual “office hours” to prepare potential nominators and nominees for AGU honors (medals, awards, prizes, fellowship, and lectures) with the knowledge, skills, and feedback they need to put together an outstanding packet. In this session, 2021 Hilker Early Career Award winner Jennifer Glass will discuss tips for crafting your two-page bibliography/publication list. Most of the hour will be dedicated to Q&A with the audience, including feedback on any prepared materials participants are willing to share. The office hour will be October 28, 2022 from 2–3 pm Eastern Time (11 am–12 pm Pacific). Please sign up at this link, or email Sam Rabin (sam.rabin@rutgers.edu) with any questions.
