Via Tim Slater:

MESSENGER is a NASA Discovery mission that
was launched in 2004 and will reach Mercury in 2011. We are recruiting
30 practicing teachers or teacher trainers to become the next cadre of
MESSENGER Educator Fellows. These Fellows help bring the excitement of
this challenging mission to classrooms nationwide by training teachers
on the Solar System-focused education materials written in support of
the mission. The Fellowship includes an all-expense paid five-day
training workshop in Washington, DC, in June 2006.

We would like to request you to please pass on this Announcement of
Opportunity to appropriate candidates in your organization, as well as
any other interested parties of which you might be aware. This is a
national Announcement of Opportunity, and we wish the word to reach as
wide an audience as possible to help make the candidate pool, and,
therefore, the next cadre of Fellows, as strong as possible.
Applications are due March 31, 2006.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, or the MESSENGER Educator
Fellowship Coordinator (Ken Pulkkinen; messenger@usra.edu; 202-689-1238)
if you have any questions about this Announcement.
