During this interactive webinar, a group of panelists will describe how they successfully launched their mental health initiatives for STEM graduates and early career scientists and the impacts of those programs on their campus. The panel will also provide advice on launching similar initiatives and how the STEM community in general can better support the mental health of graduate students.
In just a few short weeks NASA’s next flagship telescope, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will launch and usher in a new era of discovery. In this webinar sponsored by Eos: Science News by AGU, astrophysicist and host of “Ask a Spaceman!” Paul M. Sutter talks with exoplanet scientists Néstor Espinoza, Elisabeth Matthews, and Caprice Phillips.
The AGU Heads and Chairs program and the American Geosciences Institute are pleased to be offering a free online webinar and discussion about efforts in curricular reform in undergraduate geoscience programs, and their successes and failures. Please join Aley El-Shazly (Marshall University) as he shares his program’s experiences with curricular reform and to join a community discussion of how curricular reform efforts have progressed in light of the recent Vision and Change document.
Legislators have a lot on their plates. How then do we make sure that science rises to the top of their priorities (i.e., how do we get their attention)?
Please join Rachel Beane (Bowdoin College), Eric Baer (Highline College), and Vernon Morris (Arizona State University) to learn about recent student diversity trends and participate in a conversation about making our discipline more accessible, inclusive, and equitable.

Spark your imagination and weave storytelling into your science research and communications with the right tools. ArcGIS StoryMaps provide a multimedia canvas to boost a narrative that offers incredible ways to inform, educate, and inspire scientists, conservationists, decision-makers, and the general public on science research.
Combined with place-based literature and traditional stories supporting ecological research are two examples of how faculty at Arizona State University and Northwest Indian College are elevating how we understand and honor living landscapes.
Outside of academia, atmospheric scientists hold a wide variety of careers in the private sector; however, most graduate students and postdocs have limited exposure to scientists who hold these positions. The goal of this webinar is to introduce early career atmospheric scientists to career opportunities in the private sector and explore how the responsibilities and work environments differ from those in academia.
