In the second webinar of our series on *Navigating a Collaborative Research Career in Academia*, we?ll hear from experts rethinking the traditional CV format to create space for more meaningful, contextual information and to emphasize quality over quantity of information in CVs. Though literature and practice around this topic in the U.S. is still nascent, European researchers and institutions are leading the conversation around reshaping traditional scientific CVs to make research assessment fairer. In this webinar, we?ll hear from Michaela Strinzel from the Swiss National Science Foundation and Dr. Wolfgang Kaltenbrunner from Leiden University in the Netherlands, who will discuss the broader context around these shifts in academia and describe the Swiss National Foundation?s work to implement a new CV format, along with the challenges and lessons learned thus far. This webinar will offer an alternative approach to writing CVs that better captures collaborative research skills and will provide perspectives on how this shift can move academia towards fairer research assessment. *This webinar is the second of our two-part series on Navigating a Collaborative Research Career in Academia.

The event is organized largely by Cascadia Climate Action (CCA), sponsor of the Climate Science on Tap series and friend of the PCC Schooner series. This will be a conversation about science storytelling and grassroots climate action with award-winning author and journalist Madeline Ostrander and University of Washington Associate Teaching Professor P. Sean McDonald . Ostrander will talk with McDonald about her acclaimed book, At Home on an Unruly Planet: Finding Refuge on a Changed Earth; how and why she uses the tools of narrative journalism to write about science; and what we can learn from community-based stories about the solutions to climate change. More information here: https://www.strangertickets.com/events/139039960/stories-science-for-an-unruly-planet Volunteers wanted! Cascadia Climate Action is looking for 3-5 volunteers to interview/converse with audience members at this June 7th event at Bickersons Brewhouse in Ballard (7-8:30pm). CCA wants to learn more about the audience, what motivated them to attend the event, if/how they are involved in climate action and more. At the same time the hope is that this will be a conversation, with students also sharing what they are thinking about w.r.t climate. Your research, how you are engaged or would like to be engaged in addressing the climate crisis. Come get connected. Please share with anyone you think would be interested in attending, learning more, and/ or volunteering. Interested? Have questions? Contact Mary Manous (marymanous@gmail.com) . Cascadia Climate Action organizes Climate Science on Tap panel discussions to build community understanding of, and engagement with climate change, its related causes, impacts, and solutions. Generally, the discussions are held at breweries and tap houses, open to all ages, and bring out energy and climate scientists, engineers and policy experts, to share their knowledge and experience. Volunteer supported, the format fosters networking, learning, and action while being a great deal of fun! -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: WSU is developing a climate change app. They are looking for testers that will be given a $50 gift card. More information is below. In particular, they are looking for men, those not sure about climate change, and people that represent diversity. Please share this with anyone you think might be interested in participating! -Miriam ClimTo (Climate Together) is a smartphone app that promotes innovation in climate adaptation solutions. It is being developed by Washington State University, non-profit company Urbanova, and for-profit company Sonoma Technology ? a team led by Dr. Anne Pisor of WSU. The team is creating prototypes (early versions) of the app and want to understand how users might use the app. We invite you to participate in a Zoom interview that will last 30-60 minutes and for which you will receive a $50 gift card. In your interview, you will open the ClimTo prototype in your web browser and share your screen on Zoom. A small team of researchers will ask you to do things in the app, or ask you what you think about certain features of the app. They will watch what you click on and where your eyes look on the screen, and they will take notes on what you say and do. The Zoom meeting will be recorded in case researchers need to go back later to revisit your responses and clicks as they work on the prototype. Your responses and Zoom recording will be kept confidential by the research team. You must live in the United States and be 18+ years old to participate. For more information, to ask questions, or to sign up for an interview, please write Anne Pisor at anne.pisor@wsu.edu. -- "The University of Washington acknowledges the Coast Salish peoples of this land, the land which touches the shared waters of all tribes and bands within the Suquamish, Tulalip and Muckleshoot nations." @uwpcc pcc.uw.edu uwpcc@uw.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hi all, We have an exciting (and last-minute!) community outreach opportunity. We have received a request from a junior at Lincoln High School in Seattle for a volunteer to manage a table and provide perspectives on their field of study and its connection to work in climate. The student is organizing the high school's first annual environmental symposium, which aims to bring together ambivalent, climate-anxious, or interested students with sources of knowledge or jumping-off points in environmentally connected fields of study. The volunteer(s) will manage a table that students can sit down at for one of two sessions, fielding questions about their field, how they got into their field, and potential ways for students to get involved. The symposium is *THIS WEDNESDAY, **June 28th,* from *11:05 AM to 12:10 PM* at Lincoln High School in Seattle. The volunteer could come into the school or call in remotely, although coming in person would be preferred.
