AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:
Save NCAR from being dismantled today!
The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

Many dossier allow the candidate to select 3 or so papers that best reflect progress and those are usually included as PDFs to letter writers. Even if not, I'll see what you mention in statement and go read those, even if new to me.

If there are issues that would worry me about granint a long term indefinite appt, I'd provide concrete recommendations. I have an anonymized version of an example letter I wrote and I shared with our AOS junior faculty during one of our monthly meetups - email me and I'll try to dig it up.

Love if I can write about specific paper(s) that influenced my own thinking or that of my lab (even if I'm just learning about it then). Tend to focus on outcomes led by you or students, and what you lean into in your dossier statements. My default is to assume solid case, or I wouldn't be asked.

Have you delivered on the promise of your hire with respect to your department's standards and do you have a clear future plan for your scholarship? How have your papers, student mentoring/theses, outreach influenced the field?

Yes, tried to search for it now in possible places I shared. I'll chime in on Christi's thread.
