Re: Polar Social Scientists ~ Ahoy!

Dear UKPN Social Scientists,

Tomorrow evening me and a group of early career scientists are scheduled to Skype at 6pm GMT.

The call is a general discussion in order to network within UKPN and to determine how Polar social sciences could be developed within the UK.

If you would like to attend this call then contact me via e-mail or add to your Skype contacts at: mikes_finish_connection.

Best wishes,

School Visit Wroughton

Hi everyone

I have had an email from a teacher from a school in Wroughton in the Swindon region. Her year 3 class will be studying the polar regions next year and she is very keen to get a polar scientist with fieldwork experience to talk to her class between January and February next year.

If anyone is interested please get in contact, does not matter if you haven't done a school visit before we can give you ideas of activities and advice!

Best wishes
Maddie

*************************************************
New Polar Research Vessel Town Meeting and Workshop to identify future NERC Marine Equipment Requirements

A meeting will be held on 15 January 2015 in London to engage with the wider scientific community and encourage participation and input to overall design concept and operability of the new NERC polar research vessel. Furthermore, a workshop of the NERC Marine Facilities Advisory Board (MFAB) will run concurrently; the aim of which will be to gain wide community input to and engagement with equipment requirements in marine science over the next five to ten years. More information about these meetings and registration can be found at: http://www.nerc.ac.uk/latest/news/nerc/nprv/

When:  June 23 to August 18, 2015
Where:  The Juneau Icefield of Alaska and British Columbia
Who:  Undergraduate, graduate and upper-level high-school students
What:  An unrivaled educational and expeditionary experience.
