The Essential Media Kit for Early Career Scientists.

Okay, real talk.

We know the life of the early career scientist is totally nuts. And there is very little time to think about a website. Let alone making your website happen!

But developing a COMPELLING representation of your work is important for the science that you do, and it can make a HUGE (as in, YUUUGE) difference in your career. Your online presence is the gate keeper for future collaborators, funders, and colleagues to learn more about you! So we’re here to help you establish your new website and visual identity cause #solidarity!

Check out the kit today
 

Know any early career folks who might be interested?

Scientists with the Boulder Apple Tree Project sample fruit and leaf morphology, on a quest to document the rare cultivars lingering in abandoned orchards around the city 🍎. . The story of these apples is an amazing one. In the late 1800s, much of the land in #Boulder was planted for fruit production. Near the turn of the century, #Colorado was one of the top apple-growing states in the United States. . But disease, drought, and Prohibition combined to dampen Colorado’s apple industry. The invention of the Red Delicious, soon to become America’s most popular apple, cemented Washington as the apple-growing capital, and Boulder’s orchards soon fell into disrepair. . Many of these cultivars became commercially extinct but not biologically extinct, thanks to the abandoned trees remaining in suburban backyards and on public lands throughout the city. . This apple project seeks to reclaim that apple heritage and use it as an opportunity to attract a new generation of young scientists 🙌. . We have been working with the Boulder Apple Tree Project on a branding, communication, and website campaign for the last several months.

Dreaming of #skyscapes and #sunrise in the desert 🌵 . 📸: #zabriskiepoint in @deathvalleynps ✨ by @ktarsi . #getoutside #nationalparks #deathvalleynationalpark #nature_good
The infinite textures and lines of the desert 🌵. . I love how remote this image looks, like there wasn’t a person in sight. In reality, this is a popular destination in @deathvalleynps , and it will be crawling with people within an hour of this photo 😂. . But if you arrive at sunrise, and the wind has blown the footprints away in the night, it can still feel like you’re the only person on Earth (at least for an hour or two). Many thanks to the @nationalparkservice for this gift 💝 . . . #nationalparks #nationalparkgeek #deathvalleynationalpark #getoutside #sunrisers #gratefulfornature #hikenevada
Behind the scenes from my last post 👀 . Dr. Mike Singer walks us through all the reasons Edith’s checkerspot butterflies are the perfect study organism: they are slow, relatively relaxed, and once engage in mating, they completely forget you exist 😂 . Butterflies reproduce the way lots of other animals do -- sperm from a male fertilizes eggs from a female. Males and females recognize one another by the size, color, shape and vein structure of the wings, in addition to pheromones. . . 📸: @ktarsi featuring @fmnmedia. Taken on assignment w @impactmedialab
A breeding pair of Edith’s Checkerspot Butterflies (Euphydryas editha), atop the finger of their biologist matchmaker, Dr. Michael Singer 🦋. . These butterflies have long captivated entomologists because of their incredible variety in color and size. But more recently, scientists (including Dr. Singer) have become interested in their relationship to climate change. Like many insects, checkerspots are critically dependent on host plants that are sensitive to changes in climate. The host plants of Edith’s checkerspots are flowering earlier due to hotter, drier conditions, which spells STARVATION for the checkerspot caterpillars when they emerge. Consequently, checkerspot populations have been going extinct in all of the hottest parts of their range. In fact, the connection to climate is so direct, two subspecies have been added to the endangered species list specifically due to warming. . Throughout North America, these butterflies have become a “bioindicator” of climate change and a poster child for the complex threats that warming poses. . Currently, biologists are exploring options to physically move individuals to cooler parts of their range, a controversial strategy known as “assisted migration.” . .📸 @fmnmedia taken on assignment with @impactmedialab
