A new generation of early-career polar professionals came to Boulder, CO this spring with a vision to transform how polar research is conducted, funded, and shared with the world. The results are now available in a comprehensive synthesis report buff.ly/iZnxw4o #PECWS @polarsecco.bsky.social

#LatePost - time has been flying. I was honored to participate in the #ASSW2025 conference in Boulder Colorado including, #ICARP-IV, #CAVSI, and #PECWS workshops in late March.
This meeting restored my wilting hope for conservation of Arctic ecosystems by those who care and depend on them.
And on a last minute call it is time to fly to #ColoradoBoulder 🇺🇸 for #PECWS (Polar Early Career World Summit) 🐧🐻❄️❄️
Let’s discuss the importance of #ECRs in #PolarScience and what are the challenges and directions towards the 5 #InternationalPolarYear ☃️

Our final question for the week: What do you think is lacking in ECR support for Antarctic science in AU/NZ? Let us know below or via DM. Your input will be taken to the Polar Early Career World Summit #PECWS this weekend, and be considered in planning for the 5th International Polar Year #IPY5.
A cream paper-textured background with the text "Thinking about how we conduct research and our research culture in the polar community - what should we prioritise for OPY5 and beyond?" A photo inset shows three people with backpacks walking away from the camera across blue ice, with ice-free and snow-covered mountains in the background, under a clear blue sky.
More questions we'd love to hear your thoughts on, to bring to the Polar Early Career World Summit #PECWS and 5th International Polar Year #IPY5 planning: Thinking about how we conduct research and our research culture in the polar community - what should we be prioritising? 🤔
