Jonathan was invited to attend the most recent Pattullo Conference as a mentor. The Pattullo Conference is the centerpiece of the program called MPOWIR --Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention, the goal of which is to provide mentorship to female oceanographers who are +/- a year or two from receiving their Ph.D.

It was held October 4-7, 2015 outside of Washington D.C. The conference is named for June Pattullo, the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in physical oceanography in the U.S. It was attended by about two dozen junior scientists, and a dozen senior scientist mentors.

Well done Jonathan!

Instrument time has been awarded by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to Cynthia Twohy for "Molecular Studies of Biological Ice Nuclei over the U.S. Plains States.“

The study will include 360 hours on state-of-the-art mass spectrometers, an electron microscope, a Raman spectrometer and an ice nucleus chamber. The goal of the study is to determine the type, composition and ice nucleating ability of biological aerosol particles over the Great Plains region.

Conratulations Cindy!
