There is a new head of Research and Analysis in NASA's science directorate
Dr Yvonne Pendleton out of NASA Ames astrobio takes over SARA at HQ
She wants to hear from people about R&A issues, general concerns, the specific issues still go to program officers. Non-responsive program officers are a general concern, apparently (mine are all very nice and responsive, really).
She is also going to meetings: AAS, Bioastro, DPS and AGU to actually tell people what is going on.
Er, wow. That is good.
I hope that is good, if not, then it is very brave...

That is great. I'm very interested in trying to get work at NASA in the next year or so. Forward movement in NASA is always wonderful news.
