Outreach Opportunity:
Coffee with a Scientist - Alaska Public Lands Information Center
Each Friday of the summer the Alaska Public Lands Information Center (APLIC)​ ​in downtown Anchorage hosts different scientists from an array of fields to present their research to visitors at the APLIC while enjoying coffee and a snack. These presentations serve as a consistent avenue of engagement between the science community and the public. Last summer we had a solid showing of visitors and we are hoping for even greater participation in the coming summer!


The program is an hour long presentation in the AAPLIC theater with free coffee and pastries for the audience. The typical time block is a 45 minute presentation with questions filling up the rest of the time. The presentation can be hands on, informational, interpretive, etc. All we ask is that the presenters be sure to present any scientific research in a way that all members of the public can understand. Save the complexities for the questions!

Several of us are organizing a 500 Women Scientists Meet Up event as part of the Alaska Marine Science Symposium. It will be January 24th from 11:30-1. Please email elescak(at)alaska(dot)edu for more information. 

 

Event Blurb:

Thousands have signed the 500 Women Scientists open letter. We’re creating a network of support that is larger than we could have imagined. The goals for our meet up are to give female scientists the opportunities to network within their research fields, discuss common concerns facing women in science, and brainstorm strategies to make science more accessible. This is also a chance for current and prospective members of the 500 Women Scientists community to get an update on the organization’s goals and activities and provide feedback on how the organization should focus its efforts.
