“Should I just jump in the lake in my lab coat?” EGU’s Teacher-Scientist Pairing Scheme
This was the moment when our video duet lesson really started to take shape. Yes, we’d already sketched the idea for a lake stratification lesson months earlier when we applied for EGU’s Teacher–Scientist Pairing Scheme, supported by the Education and Outreach committees, but we wanted an opening that would stop students in their tracks. Nothing …[Read More]

AI: the good, the bad, and the forgotten
AI is here, and when I say here, I mean e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. For all you know, this blog may have been written by an algorithm (it wasn’t — I’m not a robot, promise. Or am I?). In what feels like the blink of an eye, AI has gone from a curiosity to a fully-fledged co-pilot in …[Read More]

Sparking scientific curiosity in Arctic Students: How they’re tackling big questions
Growing up, I didn’t know what it meant to “do research”. I did some research projects in high school, but research as a field path was totally foreign to me until I started university. Unlike me, the young students who participated in this year’s Arctic Frontiers Science for Schools program were given a first-hand glimpse …[Read More]
