process clear.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi Dr. Schade-</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Greetings from southwest Michigan! We met at the ASM this fall – I hope you are well! I have been in conversations with multiple LTER sites regarding the recent RET solicitation, and we have a question for
you.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The RET supplement requests a biosketch of the teacher selected for the RET experience, as well as a thorough discussion of the selection process, including a plan to recruit from underrepresented
groups and underserved school districts. Because a thorough recruitment process takes time to do well, we are wondering if it would be possible to submit an RET description that outlines the selection process robustly enough in regards to these diversity-seeking
measures to preclude the need to include a particular recipient’s name.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">There may well be other vital considerations that make the teacher biosketch necessary, but we thought the question would be worth asking.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Thank you for letting us know!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Cheers,</span></p>
