📢 Big announcement time (a thread, more below!)! We are launching a 2023 accessibility questionnaire to collect data on how aspects of polar research cause difficulties for researchers with disabilities -- LINK: forms.gle/p6cdx2QjW6Tg15…

Want to hear how other people feel about having kids and working in academia? 😊 Then mark the 21.03 in your calendars 📖 for APECS Germany s next online panel. You can find more information hidden behind the QR-Code or on apecs-germany.de. #ECR APECS

During the #IGSSeaIce2023 🌊🧊in Bremerhaven we will host an #ECS welcome event on Sunday (4.06), so that you can meet others before we all embark to the conference icebreaker together. ✨ More information: igs2023.awi.de/programme/side… Int. Glaciol. Soc. IGS EGG #ECR #seaice

When you start planning your travels, don't forget the MOIN ice breaker event by APECS Germany for Early Career Scientists on Sunday before the IGS. Hope to see many of you there :)

Thanks to one of my fav podcasts I learned today that there is a trans Antarctic researcher, who was in Antarctica in the 1940s. 🏳‍⚧🏳‍🌈🇦🇶 #PrideinPolarResearch #QueerinSTEM Pride in Polar Research

At the end of last year I decided to have some "different" fun with data and started my own #temperatureblanket 🧶🌡️for Helsinki. Each row is the daily mean temperature from Ilmatieteen laitos with dark blue <5°C, blue 5-0°C and light blue 0°C to 5°C. #scicomm #phdlife #crochet

Want to know why our board members enjoy volunteering at APECS Germany? You can find out some answers from Marek Muchow, Lena Nicola and @zuhr_alexandra in our blogpost over at EGU Cryosphere @egu-cr.bsky.social. 👀 #APECS APECS #ECR #ECS #phdchat #AcademicChatter #polarscience #networking

I went for a 10-minute walk to have a break and enjoy the sun and snow. ☀️❄️ Best decision of the day: came back with a fresh mind and some new-ish ideas on how to continue with my data. #phdchat #phdlife

Our next « Let’s talk » seminar will be featuring queer/LGBT+ scientists to discuss the challenged and joys they encounter doing #PolarSciences, and how to make our spaces more inclusive 🌈 Pre-register here ➡️ uni-bremen.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Menstruation in field work remains a global issue of silence; it is the geological "period" that no one talks about. Now a group of researchers from Cape Town, South Africa are trying to change this. Read their recommendations on the EGU blog now! egu.eu/20EN98/

Here is a #MindblowingMap for your slightly belated #PolarTuesday! Ever wondered how #AcademicCareers 📚 work in different countries, who gets funded how and what the different positions mean? Wonder no more! Check out 👇leru.org/academic-caree… #PhDChat #AcademicChatter

This week on Wednesday (24.05) our next #letstalk online panel is all about being queer in polar science. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Don't forget to register - the event is open for everyone. 🐧🐻‍❄️🦐 #PrideInPolarResearch #PhDChat #QueerinSTEM #ECR #APECS

We're happy to announce our new leadership team 🎉🎉 with @zuhr_alexandra being the chair and Marek Muchow, Lena Nicola and Erik Loebel as co-chairs. We're looking forward to a new, exciting 2023/24 term. 👀🤩 Hope to see you around - online or in person.

Pride in Polar Research On our last #letstalk panel we learned about the article "navigating gender at sea", which is a great resource with practical information about how to make sea-going more inclusive! 🌊🏳️‍🌈⚧ Link: essopenarchive.org/users/598376/a…

It's so fun to host in-person networking events again and this was a great one. Excited for the next days full of all things sea ice. #IGSSeaIce

We will also have some APECS ❄️and Pride in Polar Research 🐧🏳️‍🌈 pins with us during the coffee break meet up. ✨ #IGSSeaIce2023 #IGSSeaIce #apecs

I'm giving my presentation on "Modelling riding on local scales using discrete element methods"🧊 today during the second session on "Sea ice deformation, leads and ridges on temporal and spatial scales" at 14:45. #IGSSeaIce2023 #IGSSeaIce
