Call for Experts: National Academies Committee on Astronomy and Astrophysics

Kristen Garofali Space Studies Board, National Academy of Sciences

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to be considered for the membership rotation or other engagement with the Committee on Astronomy and Astrophysics (CAA), a committee of the Space Studies Board. The CAA is an independent, authoritative forum for identifying and discussing issues in astronomy and astrophysics with the research community, the federal government, and the interested public. The committee supports scientific progress in astronomy and astrophysics by providing advice to the federal government on the implementation of decadal survey recommendations.
