WORKSHOP ON EDIA FOR LEADERS IN PLANETARY SCIENCE #EDIALPS
November 30 - December 2, 2022
We invite planetary scientists in leadership roles to join us for a pilot workshop designed to engage participants with EDIA concepts and strategies. “Leadership” includes: Mission and instrument PIs (and future PIs), department chairs, institute directors, program officers, and group leaders of all kinds. The goal of this workshop is to give participants the basic tools they need to begin to enact positive change in their personal and professional spheres regarding inclusion, diversity, access, and equity. The meeting will be entirely on-line with no registration fee.
The workshop leaders will be Drs. Julie Rathbun and JA Grier. Dr. Grier will be presenting more information about the conference at this year’s DPS meeting. Eir poster presentation will be Tuesday, October 4th at 4 pm Eastern time.

NASA EXOGUIDES AND EXOEXPLORERS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
Exoplanet Explorers (“ExoExplorers”) Seminar Series is now accepting applications for its 3rd cohort, which will run January - June 2023! This program supports the professional development of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers focused on exoplanet-related research or instrumentation. Each member of the cohort will be featured in a webinar that will be live-streamed to the exoplanet community, helping to increase their visibility within the field. Participants will also learn from established exoplanet researchers
and engineers (“ExoGuides”), and have access to professional development events on topics chosen by the cohort.
ExoGuide applications are due Sept 16
ExoExplorer applications are due Sept 22
For more information, including a full description of
the program and instructions on how to apply, please visit the ExoExplorers website at:

VENUS COMMUNITY INPUT REQUEST
On September, 7, 2022, NASA released its fifth Community Announcement
Advanced Notice regarding the forthcoming release of the New Frontiers
5 (NF5) Announcement of Opportunity:
In the announcement, the "Venus In Situ Explorer" ("VISE") theme was
omitted from the list of allowed Mission Themes.
VEXAG has requested from the NF5 program office clarification of, and
rationale for, this change.
As the Venus Assessment Group, we seek the thoughts and inputs of the
Venus science and technology communities regarding the announcement,
so that we may accurately represent your views to the upcoming CAPS
meeting in late September, and to NASA as they gather feedback for
the NF5 Draft AO.
A Google form for comments is here:
We hope to compile feedback and discuss by Friday September 23, 2022
ahead of the CAPS meeting. We'll accept later responses, but can't
guarantee we'll be able to consider them before CAPS.
Noam Izenberg, Chair, OBO the VEXAG Steering Committee
