Scientists Promoting Policy, Access, Research, and Knowledge (SP2ARK) is a new six-month science communication training program organized by the Consortium of Aquatic Science Societies (CASS). It aims to build a diverse network of skilled science communicators among early career aquatic scientists.
SP2ARK is accepting three early career members from each of the CASS societies for a total of 30 participants in the first year. IAGLR members are eligible! The program defines “early career” as graduate students and postdocs or equivalent.
Trainings will be offered online from November 2024 through June 2025. Topics include audience connections, the narrative framework, challenging conversations, policy, media, and environmental justice. Please share the flyer to help get the word out.
Applications due October 15 (new deadline)
