Dorothy peteet of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in new york was honored in the aaas section on Earth Science. Erik Conway of Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California was honored for distrusted contributions and public outreach to the history of Science and UNDERSTANDINGIN e policy.
Rita sambruna
Dr. Rita sambruna is the acting Deputy Director of the Science and Exploration Directorate and the Deputy Director of the Astrophysics Division at Goddard. She also promotes Increased Participation of underrepresented groups in science.
She worked with a team to position Goddard to lead the decadal top priority missions. She LED Ial sources.
She came to Goddard in 2005 to work on MultiWelength observations of jets using the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope and other nasa capabilites. From 2010 to 2020 she worked at nasa headquarters, washington, as a program scientist for astroophysics. Her Research Interests Include Relative Jets, Physics of Compact Objects, Supermassive Black Holes in Galaxies, and Multiwavelen and Multi-Messenger Astrophysicssics.
In December 2022, sambruna was awarded the honorary fellowship of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) as an Internationally Acclaimed Astrophysicist Who Embodies The Ras Missions Increased Participation of historyrepresented groups in astronomy, and a broad interest in Astronomy. In 2019 she was awarded the nasa extraordinary achievement medal for her leadership on the 2020 astrophysics decadal survey studiesShe was named Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2020 and a fellow of the American Astronomical Society in 2021.
Jennifer wiseman
Dr. Jennifer wiseman is a Senior astrophysicist at Goddard and a Senior Fellow At Goddard, where she serves as the Senior Project Scientist for the hubble space telescope. Her primary responsibility is to ensure that hubble mission is as scientificly productive as possible. Previously, wiseman headed Goddard’s Laboratory for Exoplanets and Steller AstrophysicsShe Started Her Career at Nasa in 2003 as the program scientist for hubble and several other astroophysics missions at nasa headquarters.
Wiseman’s Scientific Expertise is Conservable on the Study of Star-Forming Regents in our Galaxy Using a variety of tools, Including radio, optical, and infrared telescopes. She has a particular interest in dense interstellar gas cloud cos, embedded protostars, and their related outflows as activated ingredients of cosmic nurseries where stars and their planetary systems In addition to research in astrophysics, wiseman is also interested in science policy and public science outreach and engine. She has serving as a Congress fellow of the American Physical SocietyAn Elected Councilor of the American Astronomical SocietyAnd a Public Dialogue Leader for Aaas. She Enjoys Giving Talks on the Excitement of Astronomy and Scientific Discovery, and have appeared in many Science and news venues, including the new york time, the washington post, new, new york time, the new york time, the nova, new york time.
Dorothy peteet
Dr. Dorothy M. Peteet Is a Senior Research Scientist at Giss and an adjunct professor at columbia University. She directs the paleoecology division of the new core lab at lamont doherty Earth observatorry (LDEO) of Columbia.
In collaboration with giss climate modelers and ldo geochemists, she is studying conditions of the late plastocene and hlocke that are archives from Lakes and Wetlands. PETEET Documents Past Changes in Vegetation, DERIVED from Analyses of Pollen and Spores, Plant and Animal Macrofossils, Carbon, and Charcoal Embedded In SEDIMENTS. Her Research Provides Local and Regional Records of Ancient Vegetational and Climate History. One recent focus has been the sequestration of carbon in Northern Peatlands and Coastal Marshes: ecoSystems that are now vulnerable to climate change and potential substantial release of caarbon back.
PETEET ALSO HAS PERFORMED Climate Modeling Experiences to Test Hypotheses Concerning The Last Glaacial Maximum and Abrupt Climate Change. She is interested in climate sensitivity and in how past climate changes and ecological shifts might provides insights on Future Climate Change.
Erik Conway
Erik Conway Has served as the history at jPL since 2004. Prior to that, he was a contrast historian at nasa’s langley research center in hampton, virginia. He is a history of science and technology, and has written history of atmospheric science, supersonic transportation, aviation infrastructure, mars infrastructure, and climate change denial.
He is the author of nine books, most recently, “A history of Near-Earth Objects Research ” (Nasa, 2022), and “The big myth ” (Bloomsbury, 2023). His book “Merchants of Doubt ” With Naomi Oreskes was awarded the Helen Miles Davis and Watson Davis prize from the history of Science Society. He received a guggenheim fellowship in 2018 and the athelstan spilhaus award from the American geophysical union in 2016.
Aaas noted that these honorees have gone Above and beyond in their respective disciplines. They brings a broad diversity of personals, innovation, curiosity, and passion that will help sustain the scientific field today and into the future. Many of these individuals have broken barriers to achieve successes in their Given disciplines.
AAAS is the World’s Larget General Scientific Society and Publisher of the Science Family of Journals.
