AGU26 brings the Earth and space science community to San Francisco on 7–11 December 2026 for research presentations, scientific exchange, workshops and professional development. The programme spans Earth, planetary and space sciences, with opportunities for collaboration across disciplines. The organizer lists 29 September as the late-breaking abstract deadline; the standard abstract round has already closed. The official event site provides registration, travel and programme updates for the meeting at the Moscone Center.

Develop coupled-cluster electronic-structure methods with periodic boundary conditions in Marco Caricato’s group. Apply the methods to electronic and optical properties of polymers, surfaces, films and crystalline materials, analyse results and prepare publications. The hybrid appointment also includes student mentoring and professional development. Initial employment lasts one year, renewable by agreement and funding; the proposed 1 October 2026 start is negotiable. Review began on 21 September and continues until a qualified applicant pool is identified.

ESPRIT supports independent, innovative basic research and career development for early postdoctoral researchers across all disciplines at Austrian research institutions. A mentor supports scientific and professional development. 36 months of principal-investigator salary at the senior postdoc rate plus EUR 45,000 project costs, increasing to EUR 75,000 on a justified request. These amounts are project costs, not the total award. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

This AGU26 award supports early- and mid-career geoscience faculty at under-resourced institutions who need financial help to attend the annual conference in San Francisco. Awards provide up to USD 1,700 for travel, together with professional development and networking opportunities. Recipients are expected to review student presentations and participate in programme evaluation. Eligible applicants are primarily employed at a US two-year college or four-year undergraduate institution, or an under-resourced international institution, and must comply with AGU conduct and conflict-of-interest pol

Comparison is a powerful learning process that improves learning in many domains. For over 10 years, my colleagues and I have researched how we can use comparison to support better learning of school mathematics within classroom settings. In 5 short-term experimental, classroom-based studies, we evaluated comparison of solution methods for supporting mathematics knowledge and tested whether prior knowledge impacted effectiveness. We next developed supplemental Algebra I curriculum and professional development for teachers to integrate Comparison and Explanation of Multiple Strategies (CEMS) in
