Early Career Scientist Spotlights
Point of Contact: danielle.n.simkus@nasa.gov and jenna.cann@nasa.gov.
Early Career Scientist Spotlight ("ECSS") articles showcase the early career scientists working at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The ECSS articles are intended to highlight the research interests, science motivations, and achievements of the early career scientist community, and are a great way to learn a bit about some of the wonderful and interesting people working at Goddard!

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Subcommittee
Point of Contact: melissa.ugelow@nasa.gov.
DEI subcommittee members: Melissa Ugelow, Jenna Cann, Vincent Kofman, Christine Knudson, Bea Gallardo-Lacourt, Mariel Friberg-Aponte, Alex David-Uraz, Luoth Chou, Danielle Simkus, and Erin Dawkins.
The DEI subcommittee serves to foster diversity, inclusion, and equity within the GSFC early career scientist community. The NGAPS+ DEI subcommittee is currently focusing on 1) connecting with broader GSFC DEI efforts, 2) making the early career onboarding process across divisions and affiliations more transparent and equitable, and 3) implementing a detailed reporting map to guide GSFC early career scientists on available resources for anonymous reporting.
