Three SICCS researchers were named among the first cohort of nineteen NEON Ambassadors. NEON, the National Ecological Observatory Network, is the world’s leading continental scale ecological research infrastructure. NEON’s Ambassador Program is envisioned to empower and connect researchers and educators who are eager to engage with their communities. They will help their communities use NEON to accelerate scientific discovery, enhance educational opportunities, increase diversity and inclusion of the scientific community, and/or inform public policy.
