[pccgrads] Apply to give a climate change-related talk at a brewery this May!

[Madeleine Strait]

Dear PCC grad students and postdocs,

As you may be aware, the UW Program on Climate Change Graduate Steering
Committee (P-GraSC) began a graduate student-led climate outreach effort
called the “Schooner Series” in 2019, as an offshoot of the popular Climate
Science on Tap <https://cascadiaclimateaction.org/on-tap/> from Cascadia
Climate Action <https://cascadiaclimateaction.org/>, a nonprofit affiliated
with CascadiaNow!, a 501(c)(3) organization. We host the Schooner Series to
bring climate outreach panels to breweries around Seattle to foster
communication and conversation between UW graduate students/postdocs and
the public concerning climate change, its causes, impacts and solutions. We
are now excited to announce that we will be hosting another Schooner Series
event this spring, live and in-person, in collaboration with Cascadia
Climate Action.

We are looking for speakers for our next brewery event, which will take
place on a Wednesday or Thursday evening this May at Bickersons Brewhouse
in Ballard. We are looking for 3-4 graduate students or postdocs to give
10-15 minute talks on their research or general interests related to any
aspect of climate change (e.g. climate solutions, biological impacts,
mitigation/adaptation, climate hazards, environmental justice, local
climate, etc.). Check out the attached pdf with flyers from past Schooner
events for ideas of talk topics.

To apply to be a speaker, please complete this short survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqTZWlkAh5PCg-YMBoPjfHhSdmy1jGv_O5q2Eeb1BQsLyJqw/viewform>
explaining a topic you would be interested in presenting and indicating the
dates you are available. We will be in touch with potential speakers early
in the spring quarter.

If you have any questions about the Schooner Series or your application,
please reach out to me (mstrait at uw.edu).


Thank you for considering this opportunity!
