Dear all
The ESA Living Planet symposium comes to Edinburgh in September 2013.
There are no attendance fees so it would be a great opportunity for
anyone using ESA data. The first call for abstracts has been released
and is attached.

UKPN at Science Uncovered! NHM, London, Sept. 28th
Hey all,
If you happen to be in or near London, come to the NHM next Friday night! This should be a fun and informative evening, and a chance to learn a lot about different scientific disciplines, and have a drink at the same time.
There will be a big Antarctic area, with Antarctic fossils and specimens, a field camp, and hopefully a live chat to current winterers at Rothera.
UKPN is heavily involved in organising this part of the event.
Hope to see many of you there!
Amélie

How to write a review?
Hello UKPN,
During the panel session on “Publishing in Polar Sciences” yesterday at the Antarctic Sciences Conference , we also got onto the topic of writing reviews. Several panel members highly recommended this article, so I thought I’d share it with the whole list.
http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/pdf/PeerReview_Guide.pdf
Have an ice weekend!

Reminder: Publishing in Polar Science (and get-together!), Thursday 13th, Cambridge, Kaetsu Centre
Hello UKPN folks,
For those attending the Antarctic Science Conference:
Have you ever wondered, how to choose a journal to which to submit a paper? What may be the disadvantages of Open Access Journals? How to deal with contradicting reviews?
Come to the panel session on “Publishing in Polar Science” on Thursday 13th, in the Lecture Theatre at 5.30pm.
With Karen Heywood, Jane Francis, David Vaughan, Eric Wolff, Lloyd Peck and Tom Bracegirdle, we have a panel of polar scientists from various disciplines, who will share their experience.
There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions!
Cambridge-based folks:
We plan to go for a bite afterwards. If you want to join us (venue still to be decided), please email Coleen, at coleen.suckling_at_polarnetwork.org
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Emma and Amélie
