Volunteers needed for Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge

Dear UKPN

 

SPRI is looking for volunteers to help with their outreach events this summer in Cambridge. The descriptions of the events are below. This is a great opportunity to share your research with the public, especially to get them excited about the polar regions! If interested please contact Sophie: sw229@cam.ac.uk

1.
Do you know about icebergs? Do you study them? avoid them? Could you help out the learning team at the Scott Polar Research Institute -    with facts and stories (wierd and wonderful, daring and dangerous),    photos (own if poss - snaps will do), a competition question? and    even 'expertise' on the day (in person or via skype) at our all day family event at the Polar Museum on
      Aug 11 (Sat)  - All you ever wanted to know about icebergs....

2.
Aug 22 (wed) - The Beach at the Polar Museum  (families day).    If you do polar science that is revealing changes - would you be    willing to come and sit on our temporary beach at the Scott Polar    Research Institute and tell people who you are, what you do, where you go to do it and why. The event is a gentle reminder that the researchers are collecting data and building knowledge and that change is on going and complex. We are hoping to help you find fun ways of sharing your research - or may be you know some already!
