The Essential Media Kit for Early Career Scientists.

 
scientific-2040795.jpg

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?

A little over a month till we launch this campaign 🥳 We are currently working with the science advisors and the designers. The social media managers and the film editors. The transcribers, the animators, the composers, the colorists, and more. . It’s been an amazing opportunity (and a huge learning curve!) working on a project of this magnitude. There are never fewer than 30 balls in the air at one time 😂, but we have become like a train - all wheels moving forward together, in unison. . I will never be able to put into words my gratitude to @aaasorg for first imagining this campaign and then bringing us on board to help. . . #teamworktuesday #lovewhatyoudo #scicomm #science #climateaction #climatechange #climateactionnow
My body is here, knee-deep in invoicing, analyzing interview scripts, and helping with edits. But my mind is gone, drifting away somewhere on an empty #Oregon beach at sunset... 🤤 . . 📸: pulled from a gorgeous timelapse by @pjhoffy42 taken on assignment with @impactmedialab for @aaasorg, as part of the #HowWeRespond project . #dreamingofadventure #filmlife #onassignment
Evacuation 🌊. . Our last story takes us to the heart of Cajun country: New Orleans, the city built on swampland. For this story, we’ll learn about a community learning to live with water and developing a social platform to help the city adapt to floods. . And here, we spent two days with our lead character, learning all about the soil and the concrete, about why the water sticks around so long, and drains so poorly. We learned about the pipes that run under the streets that pump water from the people to the lake on the other side. It was all very interesting in the abstract. . And then the rain started... . We got 4 inches in just over an hour and everything abstract became suddenly real. Tornados started touching down in the city, water filled the streets, locking people and vehicles in place. Here, when the rain starts, you hunker down and hope for the best. . We took shelter in a brick building at the RV park until the cell passed, and then picked our way through flooded streets to get out of the city before the tropical storm builds this weekend. But what about those that stay? We left a whole city in our rearview, to fend off the storm likely to become Hurricane Barry. The Mississippi is already the highest in 70 years, licking at the lips of the levee protecting the city we all love so dearly. . And in moments like this, #climatechange is no longer limited to polar bears in the arctic and oysters in the ocean. It trapped us for a morning and shook us to our bones, and suddenly we could feel a fraction of the weight of what people living in these paths of climate change must feel everyday. . . 📸: @ktarsi for @impactmedialab on assignment with @aaasorg for the #HowWeRespond project. And extra thanks to @thenorthface for sending us the waterproof duffels that saved our gear and belongings! . #climatestrike #climatefriday #climateemergency #climatecrisis #flooding #neworleans
Wrapped another week on the #HowWeRespond trail 👏 This time focusing on a story about #sealevelrise and a community rallying to protect life here in the Golden Isles. . For this story, we’ll explore habitability of the coast in the face of #climatechange and the interface with #environmentaljustice. We’ll talk about adaptation, mitigation, and the role of science in working with communities, hand in hand, to understand and solve these problems 🔭 . One story left 😱 and then it’s time to edit like our life depends on it! . . 📸: @ktarsi for @impactmedialab on assignment with @aaasorg for the #HowWeRespond project.

With only 2 weeks left, I’m feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for the #HowWeRespond film team and all that we’ve accomplished in a short 2 months. We’ve had lots of laughs, a few tears, and shared in an undeniably grand adventure that we will never forget! . Now seemed like a good time for formal introductions, so here they are 👉 In order of appearance: . @ktarsi - Kika Tuff, PhD: Director / producer / chaos manager / science obsessive. . @skysailproductions - Ryan Trenkamp: Cinematographer / lighting ninja / data wrangler / runner of long distances. . @pjhoffy42 - Peter Hoffman: Cinematographer / audio guru / tamer of large vehicles / a man of many accents. . Not pictured: @fmnmedia - Matt Talarico, our fearless editor, without whom none of this footage would see the light of day. . I am so honored to call you all colleagues, collaborators, and friends. Thanks to @aaasorg for this incredible opportunity. On to the next adventure 🙌 . . #yepimcrying #impactmedialab #filmmaker #filmlife #filmfamily #lovewhatyoudo
