ESIP Update 🌄 New environmental justice collaboration


NASA Earth Data and ESIP have teamed up and are looking for an environmental justice subject matter expert. 

The mountain is always there.

This phrase reminds us that rest and celebration are as much a part of work as the trek and to-do lists. As ESIP collaboration areas gear up for the next stretch, let's take a moment to enjoy the view and celebrate a few high points.

🌄 For last Friday's International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Amazon's blog featured Annie Burgess, Chelle Gentemann, and Ana Pinheiro Privette.

🌄 The Royal Geographical Society's teaching resources also drew up Dawn Wright as a data superhero. #WomenInScience

🌄 The year's first IT&I Tech Dive Webinar kicked off with an overview of The National Map tool. 

🌄 Our Community Fellows' bios are up on the ESIP blog. As well as stories on wildfire data and our ESIP award winners

🌄 ESIP and NASA Earth Data have teamed up and are looking for an environmental justice subject matter expert. (Details below). 

Where are you hiking these days? ESIP will be rolling out a new blog and we'd love to share community successes and summits. Send ideas to Allison Mills, ESIP Communication's Manager, allisonmills@esipfed.org.
