As scientists, we love our research and want to share our findings far and wide. As ecologists and conservation biologists, we especially hope that our findings affect policy, management, or everyday stewardship. And funding agencies remind us that we must ensure our research has broader impacts that benefit society, beyond just publishing scientific papers. But how do we effectively communicate our research?
This month, trainee Sarabeth Buckley’s research was featured on the American Geophysical Union’s Eos, a weekly magazine of Earth and Space science news. Sarabeth runs an urban rooftop farm that uses CO2 from building vents to fertilize spinach plants.
We’re excited to announce a funding opportunity for all BU URBAN Trainees. Trainees can apply for graduate student research or travel awards. Each award is capped at $1500 and is made in support of Ph.D. research in interdisciplinary research topics that span both Biogeoscience and Environmental Health in urban systems or for trainees to travel to a meeting or conference to present their work within the year.
Interested in Urban Science? We have some exciting talks lined up for our seminar series this semester that emphasize the connection between urban biogeoscience and environmental health.
