Organizers announce that the time of the United Kingdom Polar Network
(UKPN) Network Day for early career scientists on Tuesday, 7 June 2011
has been changed to 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The event will be held at the
Royal Corinthian Yacht Club in Plymouth, United Kingdom.
Network Day is taking place in connection with the Scott Centenary
weekend commemorating the centenary of the British Antarctic (Terra
Nova) Expedition, 1910-1913, led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott. It will
include presentations and discussions around the scientific legacy of
the expedition and the wealth of archives available for polar scientists
in the UK, and provide an opportunity to discover the work of UK
Antarctic Heritage Trust and to meet many other interesting early career
scientists working in all areas of polar sciences.
The keynote speaker will be Douglas Russell from the Natural History
Museum. Other speakers will include Ellen Bazeley-White (Archives
Manager from the British Antarctic Survey) and Anna Malaos (from the UK
Antarctic Heritage Trust), both of whom will discuss their work and the
resources it opens up for scientists.
Attendees are invited to bring a poster highlighting their current
research for the poster session. For those arriving early, or who have
already travelled to Plymouth for the Polar Science Conference on 6 June
2011, organizers hope to arrange a trip to the National Marine Aquarium
in the morning.
