[iris-bulk] Call for Nominations: 2010 Distinguished Lectureship Speakers

[Patrick McQuillan]

*2010 IRIS/SSA Distinguished Lectureship
Announcement Call for Nominations*

IRIS and SSA are pleased to announce the eighth year of this 
jointly-sponsored annual national lecture series in seismology. The 
selection committee seeks nominations from the seismological community 
for two lecturers for 2010. The general goal of the program is to 
increase the general public’s awareness of relevance and excitement for 
seismology through increased exposure.

Each of the two lectures will be given at least four times to general 
audiences at museums, universities or other public venues with target 
audiences of 200 or more. The general scope of the research presented 
must have clear and acknowledged tie-ins to SSA and IRIS. IRIS Education 
and Outreach and SSA will cover costs and assist with presentation, 
preparation, travel and other expenses. Each lecturer will also receive 
a $1000 honorarium. Lecturers must be resident in the US during 2010.

Nominations must include a vision statement, including a specific 
description of how the proposed presentation will fulfill the outreach 
goals of the lectureship program. Past experience and perspective on 
successfully communicating seismological ideas to large public audiences 
are desirable. Self-nominations are encouraged. For full consideration, 
nominations must be received by March 6, 2009.
