Polar science on Reddit

I’m a member of the Association of Polar Early Career Researchers (APECS), an international group of young(ish) scientists that tries to raise awareness on Polar issues.  In recognition of International Polar Week the US branch of APECS, US-APECS, is going to try some experimental outreach tonight using Reddit.  Via the iama feed we’re going to do a realtime, public Q&A on any polar science topic.  Join us on Reddit at 8:30 pm ET at #PolarWeek!  We will be online for about an hour but will still respond to questions posted after 9:30.

In addition to myself the experts will be:

Dr. Chelsea Thompson, atmospheric chemistry and air/snow interactions, CU Boulder

Dr. Ellyn Enderlin, glaciology, glacier-ocean interactions, University of Maine

Dr. Alex Thornton, Marine Ecology, Scripps Institute of Oceanography

    I think our experiment was a success. It was a little hard to find the thread, if you’d still like to ask a question over the next couple of days you can do so at:
