I am interested in coming to help out both days of accommodation/travel is covered, a youth hostel will do? And national express.
I've been to an ocean acidification Conference with APECS in Bergen in 2013. My background is environmental pollution and I've been to two arctic frontiers conferences as a volunteer.
Kind Regards

Dear UKPN,
Lorna Street and I are co-ordinating a two-day event at Our Dynamic
Earth as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival focusing
on polar science and living and working in the polar regions. The event
will run from 10am until 4pm on Sunday 8th and Monday 9th April.
This will involve, amongst other things, displays and hands-on
activities focusing on ocean acidification, terrestrial carbon fluxes,
glacier and ice sheet flows, polar animals, and animals' insulation.
We are looking for volunteers to come and engage with the public, and
show them the wonders of polar science and life. If you would like to
take part, all you have to do is send me an email! You are very welcome
to help out on one of the days or both. Please tell me your preference
and I will draw up a rota that accommodates everyone. Please pass this
on to anyone else you think may be interested.
If you are interested in bringing your own displays/exhibits/shiny
science kit to add to the party, please feel free and we will work it
into the program.
Looking forward to working with you and bringing our exciting science to
the public!
Best wishes,
Sian
