Do you want to actively engage with science communication with your research? FieldNotes is seeking both written and visual submissions for our Spring 2020 issue! We aim to provide a platform for undergraduates to practice science communication. We accept pieces about your own research, their own perspectives on research, or environmental topics in the Pacific Northwest. Our editorial board will work with you to edit your piece throughout the quarter and will be featured at the end of the quarter in our Spring issue in both digital and print forms. Submission Details
We welcome submissions from all UW majors and colleges. However, we will only accept submissions that pertain to environmental/ecological research. To be considered for our journal, please submit a short abstract/pitch for your piece to this Google form. To get an idea of the type of articles we publish, check out our Autumn 2019 issue. Contributing to the journal is a full-quarter commitment, so we expect authors to meet deadlines, respond to feedback on time, and communicate with the editorial board throughout the quarter. The submission deadline is April 6th (4/6) at midnight. In addition, we are still recruiting editors for the editorial board! If you would like to hone your sci-comm skills and learn more about being an editor and part of a scientific journal, consider registering for CENV 401, the class that facilitates the journal. We meet Mondays 11:30AM-2:20PM. If you are interested, email Julian OIden (olden@uw.edu) for an addcode. We're looking forward to working with you! |
