Ship-to-Shore SciComm Seminar

Ship-to-Shore SciComm Seminar, (with UW Astro alum Locke Patton), July 14, 2:30PM, PAA A210,   One of our UW Astro alumni, Locke Patton, is currently on an expedition to the Solomon Islands on board the E/V Nautilus research vessel as an Ocean Exploration Trust Science Communication Fellow. He and the rest of the crew are deploying and controlling remotely operating vehicles (ROVs) on dives that will explore deep-sea geology and biology, and broadcasting the dives with live commentary. As part of his work on board the ship we're hosting a live 30-minute ship-to-shore session here at UW! We'll be gathering in PAA A210 and Locke will be calling in from the E/V Nautilus to answer questions about life at sea, the science and robotics of deep ocean exploration, and more, including his work as a full-time science communicator (when he's not sailing on a research ship he's an education associate at the Museum of Science in Boston).   I'd like to especially encourage anyone interested in pursuing a sci-comm career… Event interval: Single day event.
