Hey Everybody!!!! My PolarConnect event has been scheduled for Monday, March 9 at 11:15 AM EDT. It will be a chance for me to share what I've been doing as part of the research team onboard the Nathaniel B. Palmer icebreaker and for you to ask questions. Family, friends, colleagues, classes - you can all register to participate at https://www.polartrec.com/polar-connect/register.

Here's the announcement from the PolarTREC website:
Join PolarTREC educator Sarah Slack and researcher Frank Nitsche who will be presenting from aboard the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer somewhere in the Amundsen Sea. Sarah and Dr. Nitsche will discuss the fieldwork investigating the Thwaites glacier, surrounding waters, and seafloor in West Antarctica. They will also talk about what it's like to be part of a large research team and what it's like to live on a research vessel. This event is free and will take place at 11:15 AM EDT (7:15 AM AKDT, 8:15 AM PDT, 9:15 AM MDT, 10:15 AM CDT).

I can't wait to share more about the things I have been learning and doing here in Antarctica! See you on Monday!

So sorry I missed the event. The original announcement that came out gave the time as 11:15 PM instead of AM! So I was very late and you were all done!
I will check out the Connect in the archives. I was so looking forward to it too.

SO sorry you weren't able to join us live, Mrs. Towle-Hilt, but I hope you will check out the archived version. We covered a lot of the same material I do in the blog- and I even used some of the same photos. So if you've been following the blog, it is like you were part of a long, drawn-out version of the PolarConnect event.

Hope all is well with you!
