Great news! Also I have read that all AWG-OSDR members can now use official title: NASA Citizen Scientist. So I am think that rules of this forum must be changed ASAP because I have read that no members of AWG-OSDR can claim any affiliation with NASA which is contradictory to what NASA itself says!
