To help organize science input from STScI and JHU staff, please take the time to fill out the two tables below. The first (science papers) is organized using the most commonly chosen keywords (provided by STScI's Science Mission Office) based on a survey of the science staff. In most cases, your specific research theme should be listed under one of these keywords as a second layer. If it is the case that your research area is not well represented by a particular keyword, then please feel free to add a new keyword. Also, please make sure to add a title or short research theme that summarizes the topic of the white paper you are interested in, under each of the major themes. This will make it easy for other astronomers to join the effort. Every paper should be listed as a new row. Please indicate whether you are willing to lead the writing of the paper or willing to help contribute as a co-author by listing your name in the appropriate column. Feel free to add entries that you are interested in, but unable to lead.
