2007-2008 ASP Seminar Series Update ASP Retreat 15 October 2007
2007-2008 Committee • Yue Deng • Stephanie Herrmann • Jian Liu • Ryan Torn • With help from Luciana Rizzo
Overview • Purpose of Seminar Series • How speakers were chosen • Format of Seminars • 2007-2008 speakers
Goals of Series • Expose post-docs to a variety of different research topics within atmospheric science via talks meant for a broad scientific audience • Chance to engage scientists from local community
Parameters of Series • Want speakers who can give talks that can be understood and enjoyed by a wide variety of scientists • Series of seminars should reflect broad disciplines of all post-docs • Must be from local community
Procedure • Sent an email to all post-docs in late August asking for nominations for speakers, followed up a week later • Received 30 nominations from the post-docs
Decision Process • Seminar committee sorts through the nominations • Grouped potential speakers by research area • Identified research areas that were not represented, asked post-docs working in those areas who they think would be good choices • Ranked speakers within research area • Extended invitations to one speaker from each area
Seminars • Third Wednesday of each month (exception is Nov. 14) at 11:00 a.m. • Location depends on speaker’s area of research (i.e., a climate speaker will be at Mesa Lab) • 45 minute talk followed by discussion period • BRING QUESTIONS!!!!
Post-Seminar Lunch • Immediately after the seminar in the NCAR cafeteria • Good chance to further discuss research ideas or the seminar with the speaker • Provides an opportunity to learn about the speaker’s career path and solicit career advice. • Open to All!
Reminder: ASP Seminar: Wednesday, October 17 11:00 Jose Jimenez “Organic Aerosols: New Techniques and Field Results” Center Green-1 South Auditorium
