Professional Development

In this one-hour online training put on in partnership with Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) Scientific Communications Editor, Lauren Lipuma, polar early career scientists will learn what makes science newsworthy and how to prepare for media interviews.

Join us online for a workshop on ‘FAIR and Ethical Data Collection for Collaborative Polar Research’ on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, 9am AKT | 11am MT | 1pm ET! 

The PSECCO conversation series provided an informal 1-hour discussion space for early career scientists to explore a topic of interest with a more experienced researcher with considerable success in the topic area. Participants had the opportunity to steer the conversation by submitting topic-related questions prior to the event.

“A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.” –Brené Brown

Leaders do not avoid, repress, or deny conflict, but rather see it as an opportunity. -Warren G. Bennis

A leader is best when people barely know they exist. When their work is done, their aim fulfilled, the people will say: we did it ourselves. –Lau Tzu
