The United States Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (USAPECS) will be hosting a “Launching Your Online Science Persona” webinar on Thursday, July 20, 2023 from 10:00am-11:00am AK/2:00pm-3:00pm EST. This virtual panel focuses on strategies for getting you and your research out to the public through the use of social media, other online platforms (e.g., ranging broadly from ResearchGate to YouTube), and communication with traditional media sources. The event will include short discussions from early career polar researchers that actively communicate their work through these methods with a question-and-answer session following. More information on webinar registration details will be provided in the coming weeks.

7th Annual International Polar Film Festival - Call for film submissions!
In conjunction with International Polar Week, the US Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (USAPECS) is hosting the seventh annual international Polar Film Festival in September 2023! For five days, the Polar Film Festival will showcase short videos on topics related to the Polar regions to the public and broader APECS community. Films will be hosted digitally on our website each day during Polar Week, and we are planning an online panel discussion with interested filmmakers during International Polar Week in September 2023.

Submissions of independently created films (created by you or someone you know) are welcomed and encouraged. In the past, we’ve featured a range of works, from feature films and academic documentaries to independently-produced videos, interviews, and news reports. We welcome a diversity of submission types and topics. Information and videos from previous years’ film festivals can be viewed at: https://usapecs.wixsite.com/usapecs/polar-film-festival-2022.
We are also looking for people to host in-person screenings this fall, so if you’re interested in doing so, please indicate this on the film submission form or email usapecs@gmail.com. We look forward to another exciting Polar Film Fest!
