Workshop Communicating Science Polar Scientists

项目摘要

This proposal develops a 3-day science communication workshop tailored to polar scientists spanning a broad range of expertise and career stages. Scientists have a responsibility to share the meaning and implications of their work. Doing so in a direct, vivid manner enables scientists to engage public interest and inform public decision-making. Workshop participants will be required to engage in a wide range of dissemination activities, including relaying effective communication strategies to their home institutions through brown-bag seminars, thus translating communication training into action within the scientific community. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the International Glaciological Society's symposium in Boulder, Colorado on August 14-19, 2017 so that participants can immediately apply their new skills at an international conference. Workshop organizational partners will include the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists, the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science (Stony Brook University), and the University of Colorado Boulder National Snow and Ice Data Center and Center for Science and Technology Policy, and the International Glaciological Society. The workshop is designed to bring together 32 scientists (including 20 early career researchers, defined as graduate students and professionals within five years of their terminal degree) in a range of polar research disciplines (both Arctic and Antarctic).

该提案为跨越广泛专业知识和职业阶段的极地科学家量身定制了为期 3 天的科学传播研讨会。科学家有责任分享他们工作的意义和影响。以直接、生动的方式这样做使科学家能够吸引公众的兴趣并为公共决策提供信息。研讨会参与者将被要求参与广泛的传播活动，包括通过棕袋研讨会向其所在机构传达有效的传播策略，从而将传播培训转化为科学界的行动。该研讨会将于 2017 年 8 月 14 日至 19 日在科罗拉多州博尔德市与国际冰川学会研讨会同时举行，以便参与者能够立即在国际会议上应用他们的新技能。研讨会的组织合作伙伴将包括极地早期职业科学家协会、艾伦阿尔达科学传播中心（石溪大学）、科罗拉多大学博尔德分校国家冰雪数据中心和科学技术政策中心以及国际冰川研究所社会。该研讨会旨在汇集一系列极地研究学科（北极和南极）的 32 名科学家（包括 20 名早期职业研究人员，定义为获得最终学位五年内的研究生和专业人士）。
