📢Meet our Vice-Presidents, Connor and Sam! 📢

[Connor Shiggins @glacialicon]

@icy_pete @AntarcticGlacie Absolutely, I think the discourse (on my socials anyway) is far more against - but as you say, that’s not the ‘sexy’ solution and won’t sell the click bait. While 99% of scientists believe in climate change, the media will always find the 1% that don’t (example made in seminar)

[Connor Shiggins @glacialicon]

@AntarcticGlacie @icy_pete My only hope with public funding would be that it was quite transparent at least, rather than a private funder with their own agendas / ideas

[Connor Shiggins @glacialicon]

@AntarcticGlacie @icy_pete Yeah I would agree and think there’d be buy in for something like that. I’ve no idea, I think they usually go on YouTube a couple of weeks after the seminar itself

[Connor Shiggins @glacialicon]

@AntarcticGlacie @icy_pete I think the specific answer to this question @icy_pete poses is key for how the ‘community’ moves forward with this dialogue & whether we need to get into papers and get bogged down. It seems the ‘pro’ argument will say back that no has really disproved the theory in papers etc

[Connor Shiggins @glacialicon]

@AntarcticGlacie @icy_pete I still don’t think I’ve come to answer if I’m honest, but I’m leaning more towards the second train of thought due to the amount of traction a lot of these ideas have had in recent months and we don’t know what private funding opportunities will come about

I've met so many amazing colleagues and made so many friends in glaciology, it's going to be tough leaving all of it behind but I'm being positive about all my memories and experiences

[Connor Shiggins @glacialicon]

Mixed emotions writing this, but after 5 years I'll be leaving @LivUni & starting a new adventure with @JacobsConnects next month. While it's been a really tough decision leaving academia, I am extremely excited about this new opportunity to try something different!

[Connor Shiggins @glacialicon]

Big opportunity for those wishing to join @UKPolarNetwork - we’re in a really exciting time with lots of really cool projects going on - don’t miss out! 👇👇
