Greetings IEP Community,
DWR plans to honor Dr. Jan Thompson for her leadership in aquatic ecology and collaborative science in a virtual event at noon on Monday, March 25th and you are invited to join the event!
This will be the second annual presentation of the Sierra Nevada Phillips Award for Women in Water Resource Sciences, which DWR presents to recognize women that are leaders in advancing knowledge, capacity, and community engagement in the sciences for stewarding our water resources. The award is presented in March in recognition of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month.
In case you don’t already know Dr. Thompson and her accomplishments: this award will recognize her leadership at the US Geological Survey in aquatic ecology, and her exemplary mentorship. Her leadership has paved the way for the next generation of scientists in her field, including many women scientists that now hold their own careers in aquatic ecology or leadership positions for the applied sciences.
See the Save the Date flyer (pdf) for the registration link!
