HAO Staff Spotlights:

NSF has selected NCAR's "Highlight" featuring Steven Tomczyk's Coronal Multichannel Polarimeter instrument, or CoMP, to be included on the new Science and Innovation website which will be launched in late fall of 2009. It is a dynamic new public website that highlights the outcomes of NSF-funded projects across the nation and around the world. The “Science and Innovation” website will inform public policy-makers, educators, researchers, and the general public about the important results and impacts of NSF’s investments. >2004highlight
