[ECOLOG-L] Recruiting for Research Ambassador Fellowships

[Stasch, Amy]

September 7, 2010

 

Dear ECOLOG-ers,

 

I am writing on behalf of Dr. Nalini Nadkarni
 , canopy researcher and
Professor at The Evergreen State College.  We are embarking on a unique
effort, known as the Research Ambassador Program
 , to enhance the capability of
scientists to directly communicate with non-traditional public
audiences.  We are writing to invite you to participate in our program.

 

We are now launching our Fellowship program.  The Program will provide
funds for travel and per diem at the Research Ambassador headquarters in
Olympia, Washington. During this time, staff will offer communication
training, mentoring, and multiple outreach opportunities, including
speaking engagements (depending on individual preferences) in state
prisons, places of worship, and elderly care homes.  

 

This provides a unique opportunity for us to network with scientists,
use our extensive network of local contacts, and help build your
portfolio and confidence in public outreach.

 

You can go to our website & blog
  for more information, including our more detailed
announcement document and a short application.  Please feel free to
contact me if you have questions or ideas for your participation.

 

Thank you,

 

Amy

educational opportunities for students and faculty at The Evergreen
State College (TESC). The main objectives will be to help guide and
manage participants at the multiple participating institutions and
