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?

Watching #Wisconsin fade in the rearview mirror. It has been such an immense pleasure! . Next stop: #Boston to learn more about blue carbon and coastal wetland restoration! . 5 stories down, 3 more to go 😱😱😱 . 📸: a green frog relaxing in a marsh at sunset.

Fighting goddamn #climatechange . At the end of filming, we stopped at a brewery and struck up a conversation with a pair of young marketing professionals fresh off of work. They wanted to know all about our trip, the #HowWeRespond project, and most importantly, what story we’re here to tell about their home town. . We told them about their County Executive, who is a visionary in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and about the new landfill plan, the prairie restoration, all the things mentioned in the previous post. We talked about hope, and environmental justice, and most importantly change 🌏 . And at the end of the conversation, one of them slid us a gift card, a small token of thanks that caught us all entirely off guard. “Thanks for everything you’re doing,” they said and we all hugged goodbye. Some of us even cried 🙋‍♀️. . As a scientist, I never gave much thought to the power of hope. Information, raw facts, that was all I thought people needed. But this film project has changed everything for me. People need hope, they need to believe in their own future to work towards change. . Make no mistake, there is a LOT of work to do. But we can do it. We have all the technology we need to solve the climate crisis, to run this world on renewable energy, and to restore habitats and ecosystems damaged along the way. We have everything we need to turn this around, and People. Are. Doing. It. . Can’t wait to start to sharing these stories and do what we can to spread more hope in the world 🥰. . . #hope #change #whyamicrying #climateactionnow #climatefriday #payitforward
Is there such a thing as TOO much good news? 🌤 . With climate change work, we sometimes struggle to find good news. But here in #wisconsin , the challenge has been unexpected: deciding which good news story to focus on! . We ultimately settled on a story about their work to harvest gas from the landfill, and use it to generate fuel and 💰 for the county. But keeping the story linear meant we had to exclude their work to bring solar power to parks; to keep the city bikeable; to restore prairies and wetlands to prepare against flooding. I will admit, it really sucked to have to leave out so much good news 😂. . But in exchange, we can build a film that is memorable, that doesn’t overwhelm the viewer, that is easy to follow from problem to solution, so that it offers a clear path to action. We hope it’s worth the cost of leaving stuff out, and we can’t wait to share their story with the world! . 📸: Peter Hoffman (@pjhoffy42) for @impactmedialab, on assignment with @aaasorg for the #HowWeRespond project.

Back on the horse after a week off from filming! On our way to #Wisconsin for a story on a community harvesting methane emissions to fuel their fleet and make that green 🤑. . 💰💰💰 . Didn’t think stopping climate change could be profitable? We’d love to help you think again! . . 📸: @ktarsi for @impactmedialab on assignment with @aaasorg for the #HowWeRespond project. . . #goodnews #climateaction #climateactionnow #climatechange
Our next story is a story of crash and recovery on the #Oregon coast, an industry on the front lines of #oceanacidification that battles economic and ecological hardships most of us can only imagine. History, heritage, and livelihoods at stake, but still they find space for optimism. . In the business of climate change communication, optimism is mission critical, but it certainly can be hard to come by. Rest assured victories are happening all over the country, sometimes small and sometimes temporary, but they are victories nonetheless. And they motivate us to keep going, keep fighting, keep moving forward. . I have seen a draft of our first film for the #HowWeRespond series, and it is getting me PUMPED for the release of this series in the fall. I hope you’re as excited as we are! . 📸: @ktarsi for @impactmedialab, on assignment with @aaasorg for the #HowWeRespond project. Extra thanks to @pjhoffy42 and @skysailproductions for sticking with this shot, which took at least an hour to setup. It was totally worth it 😂 . . . #climateactionnow #climatestrike #climatefriday #oysters #adaptation
