Check it out! A very interesting and exciting new initiative by APECS!
Call for interest in new APECS event:
"Arctic Snapshots" webinar between two field stations during 2015 field season.
We're organizing participants for an exciting new concept aimed at promoting the excitement of scientific research. The concept, which we're calling "Arctic Snapshots", will be an online webinar between scientists (both young and senior) at two field stations in similar disciplines of arctic science. This will take the format of a 1.5 hour webinar between two field stations during the Summer 2015 field season.
The main objectives of Arctic Snapshots are: (i) for scientists to share the excitement of their research; (ii) to promote increased networking between young and senior scientists (and potential future educational opportunities or research collaborations); (iii) for participants - particularly young scientists - to gain invaluable experience presenting their summer work.
The presentation format will be an 8-minute "pitch" aimed at facilitating critical thought and communication about the relevance of the presenter's research. Presentations can include research methods, findings, or an introduction to the presenter's research project. Arctic Snapshots will connect two research stations, with 5 presentations per field station, totaling to 40 minutes of presentations for each station (excluding a ~5 minute question period).
We are currently recruiting interested participants to represent their field station and to help us plan the event. If you're interested, or know an organization that might be, please send me the following information at zolkos@ualberta.ca:
1. Your name and the field station with which you are connected
2. The field station's location, website (if applicable), and which season(s) the field station is operating
3. The field station's internet connectivity (e.g. capable of a Skype call?)
We hope you're interested and look forward to your participation in this exciting event.
