Space Science Community Letter Campaigns

Reader comment: “Mike Griffin’s testimony has sufficiently rattled the scientific community that two very prominent members have started letter writing campaigns”:

Letter writing campaign by Dr. Jeremy Kasdin at Princeton: “With the NASA budget scheduled for markup soon, we wanted to take this opportunity to express our strong support for NASA’s vision for planet finding.”

Letter writing campaign by Dr. Kulkarni at Caltech: “I do not want to be an alarmist but it is now increasingly clear that a diverse and broad program in space astronomy is giving way to a narrow program. Inactivity on our part is tantamount to a tacit agreement of the plan laid out in Dr. Griffin’s testimony.”
