Blogging your Science: Part 2 - August 27, 2026 - 10:00 am-11:30 am -

In this workshop, we’ll focus on the skills needed to execute the story you have conceived. Content will be a mix of experience-sharing and interactive exercises. The workshop will be helpful whether participants attended part 1 or not. Topics include:

• Reporting from the field, Gabe de la Rosa
• Finding your personal voice, Nick Link
• Photography, Tommy Shannon

After a long field season, you finally pieced together an incredible idea for a blog post about your research escapades – and thanks to the first Blogging Your Science webinar, you know how to incorporate your personal reflections and stories using engaging narrative frameworks! But how do you effectively use words and images to bring your reader into your scientific world? Through our second SSALTER (Short Stories About Long-Term Ecological Research) Blog Webinar, presenters from across the LTER Network will discuss interviewing, reporting from the field, bringing your own voice out in your writing, and using photography to bolster your story. Please join us Thursday, August 27th from 1:00 – 2:30 pm EDT (10:00 – 11:30 am PDT) for this second workshop; attendance at the first workshop is not necessary to come to this one. While the SSALTER Blog has historically focused on graduate student stories, we value the experiences and perspectives of everybody engaged in long-term research; this webinar is open to anybody interested in scientific communication, regardless of their role! Please reach out to Thomas Zambiasi (tzambias@iu.edu) with any questions.
