Navigating Academic Waters: The Scientist Behind the Science - The Power of Storytelling in Academic and Professional Spaces
Sep 10, 2026 / 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET
Our identities, experiences, and perspectives shape the science we do and the paths we take, and storytelling is how we communicate those experiences and connect them to our research. The ability to translate complex ideas into meaningful narratives is a powerful yet often overlooked scientific skill. The stories we tell influence not only how others understand our science, but also how they understand us as scientists. This seminar will highlight that science is not separate from the scientist, and that storytelling is an essential skill for applications, grants, networking, leadership, outreach, and career transitions. Whether crafting the "why" behind a grant proposal, writing a personal statement for graduate school, or communicating research to various audiences, participants will leave this seminar with tangible tools to improve their storytelling skills and their ability to share their story.

Navigating Academic Waters: The Connected Researcher - Building Networks That Bridge Academia, Industry, and Beyond
Nov 19, 2026 / 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET
Networking is the ultimate catalyst for an early-career researcher. Whether aiming to land a competitive postdoc, launch a career in industry, or drive change in the nonprofit sector, the people you know will have substantial influence on the availability of future opportunities. However, navigating these distinct professional cultures can feel like learning entirely different languages. This seminar will shed light on the process of building a multi-sector network. By breaking down the mechanics of outreach, participants will leave with an understanding of different tools and techniques to break the ice, communicate academic achievements to diverse audiences, and maintain long-term professional relationships.

Snow Measurement Field School 2027
Jan 4 - Jan 7, 2027 ET | Application Deadline 10.7.2026
Accurate snowpack property measurements are needed as ground truth for remotely sensed data, as input for hydrological models, as input to ecological models, and as data when making avalanche forecasts. This course provides hands-on training and experience with snow measurements, to help directly with snow measurement research objectives and for interpreting snow measurements collected by others.
