Dear colleagues,
 
In case you missed it, the RAS sent out a last call for nominations for the Patrick Moore (Education) and Annie Maunder (Outreach) Medals today.
 
The deadline for both medals is Friday 27th September.
 
Nominations from the community in favour of solar physicists are highly encouraged, not least, to increase the likelihood of a strong solar physics representation in the RAS awards given the special 200th anniversary of the RAS next year.
 
We are aware that UK solar physics has a particularly vibrant and active community in the area of public engagement and the RAS awards are always an excellent opportunity to have those contributions recognised.

Patrick Moore Medal:
https://ras.ac.uk/awards-and-grants/outreach/patrick-moore-medal-education-ag
The Patrick Moore Medal is awarded for a particularly noteworthy contribution to astronomy or geophysics by school teachers e.g. by significantly improving examination results, running an active outreach programme or engaging students in extra-curricular projects. The Medal is normally presented at the next National Astronomy Meeting, or if this is not possible, at one of the Society’s A&G meetings.
Suggestions are invited from anyone, including teachers who wish to propose themselves. There is no need to be a member of the Royal Astronomical Society. Nominees should be qualified teachers who normally teach at primary or secondary level. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to provide additional information.

Annie Maunder Medal:
https://ras.ac.uk/awards-and-grants/outreach/annie-maunder-medal-outreach-ag
The Medal is open to all involved in outreach or public engagement for astronomy or geophysics, as well as those whose main occupation is outreach or public engagement, and open to nominees from anywhere in the world. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to provide additional information.  This award is normally presented at the next National Astronomy Meeting, or if this is not possible, at one of the Society’s A&G meetings. Annie Scott Dill Maunder (1868-1947) was one of the first women to be made a Fellow of the RAS. The Medal was launched in 2016, as part of the Society's celebration of the centenary of the admission of women to Fellowship.
