E&O Opportunity: Arctic Circle Making in Transit 2016

Dear UKPN,

This year, UKPN will be taking part in the Making in Transit Seminar Series at The Cube in Shoreditch, London (hipster!). This is a really cool project that investigates issues relating to the Arctic, the Anthropocene and creativity, within the context of 'making' or creating something in response to the environment. Check out the project here: http://www.makingintransit.com/

We are specifically looking for a couple early career researchers who want to present their research on the 8th December for the series! Please let me know if you are interested in participating. 

Specifically, the theme of the night will be centred around physical changes in the Arctic (i.e. ice shelves, sheets, caps, polar temperature patterns, oceanography, etc). If you are interested in presenting your latest research, this would be a great place to do it! If you're not a polar scientist but would still like to participate in the project, please do let me know as well--we have another event with Making In Transit in March that you can be involved in! 

All costs (transit, subsistence, etc) are covered under the project. 

If you haven't done much Education and Outreach before, UKPN has a wide range of resources to help you get started, and one of our committee can work with you to prepare your public presentation. 

Hope to hear back from a few of you!

TJ
