My friend @kmftimm teaches this #scicomm class. I promise it will be well worth your time!

[International Arctic Research Center @IARC_Alaska]

Awesome #scicomm class taught by IARC's science communication researcher @kmftimm. Helps undergrads & graduate students in natural, physical or social sciences build strategic scicomm skills that reach audiences where they are. Look up by the course # 👉 https://t.co/OpjsPlcS39

Also, if you're like me and have trouble keeping all the official climate reports straight, check out our guide. https://t.co/Rq2c9jaLjm

[Heather McFarland @akcassiope]

Several of the scientists I look up to the most helped launch the #StateOfClimate2021 today. Check it out for the very latest on the Arctic.

[International Arctic Research Center @IARC_Alaska]

IARC is proud to once again be a lead of the Arctic section of the annual #StateofClimate2021 report. @AlaskaWx, @AKcryosphere, Tom Ballinger, Uma Bhatt and John Walsh all contributed. https://t.co/u2zVxSPlEE

[Heather McFarland @akcassiope]

@rodcboyce Hahah! This is awesome! Swag for our next event ?

[Heather McFarland @akcassiope]

Wahoooo! So excited. This has been a year in the works. Such a fun project to see come to fruition. Come visit me to see the Arctic climate stripes wall at @IARC_Alaska. Grateful for @AlaskaWx/@TinaBuxbaum for taking this on with me!

What should we put climate stripes on next?

[International Arctic Research Center @IARC_Alaska]

We've got climate stripes! If you're in Fairbanks stop by our center to see these giant (40-foot-long) climate stripes showing Arctic temperature change from 1900 to 2021. Huge thanks to @AlaskaWx/@TinaBuxbaum for helping make this happen! #ShowYourStripes

[Heather McFarland @akcassiope]

@kmftimm Ooof us too. No fun.

[Heather McFarland @akcassiope]

Let's make science multi-generational!

[Heather McFarland @akcassiope]

YES!!! 🙌 As the product of kid-in-tow fieldwork parents, I fully support this and would add that it's a REALLY great way to grow up.

[Dr. Donna Hauser @HauserDonna]

Yes! Let's normalize conducting #fieldwork with kids! Let's create more supportive policies from our institutions too.
In my case, I also benefited from a supportive (& also researcher) husband who gets it (loves it) when we conduct fieldwork with kid in tow - not all have that.
