We are delighted to invite you to participate in Bringing the Science Home! A Cybersymposium for Earth Surface Scientists on June 23-24, 2020. This cybersymposium was funded by NSF as part of a Critical Zone Research Coordination Network, and is part of a larger effort to increase the diversity, inclusion and access of researchers in “critical zone” science—earth surface sciences including hydrology, geology, atmospheric science, ecology, etc.—to bring in new ideas and answers to important interdisciplinary questions. Our goals are to introduce early-career scientists (undergrads, grads, postdocs, and early career faculty) to critical zone science and provide tools to succeed in research. You can find more information on our efforts here: https://sites.google.com/view/czrcn.

We hope you'll find the planned meeting a fun substitute for the in-person meeting, which we plan to hold in 2021. We have a variety of great speakers invited, and you are welcome to come and go as you see fit at any point during the two days. We've worked hard to mix things up to avoid Zoom burnout. We’ll have presentations on

critical zone science accessible to those new to the field
group conversations for students, postdocs and early career faculty about next career steps
a panel on non-academic positions
tips on writing great NSF proposals from a previous program manager
some mindful topics such as connecting your creativity with your analytical mind in left/right brain balance
a personal story of overcoming struggle
as well as a bit of live music from a talented hydrologist.

To join us, register in advance for this meeting, which is free to anyone interested. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting, and we’ll be in touch with more details the week before the meeting.

If you’re new to the critical zone, consider checking out our CUAHSI webinars from this February; they are posted here: https://www.cuahsi.org/education/cyberseminars/winter-cyberseminar-series/. This series looks to introduce basic concepts in CZ science to those not totally familiar with this field but interested in getting involved.

We hope to “see” you there!

Sincerely,

Kamini Singha (Colorado School of Mines)
Pamela Sullivan (Oregon State University)
Nicole Gasparini (Tulane University)
