A message from Polar Impact:
Polar Impact is organizing a social media takeover beginning Friday, October 29th and running through November 15th in celebration of COP26. Invited polar experts and explorers will host our social media platforms for the day to discuss their work, answer questions, and engage with the public. There is a range of confirmed participants from across the globe taking part, from the first African woman to sail to the Arctic to the first Iñupiaq conservation biologist, as well as those outside of science such as an award-winning Indigenous filmmaker.
On behalf of the Polar Impact co-organizer team.
Please join us on Instagram and Twitter and follow the hashtag #COP26xPolarimpact to stay up to date. The first takeover starts today, Friday 29th Oct with Dr Victoria Buschman on Instagram. More information on the line-up is available on our social media channels, and on the graphics attached to this email.
