How to get involved with Ocean Blue Happy Hours:
Become a Guest Co-Host or Moderator
Email us to moderate an upcoming happy hour, or suggest a topic and be a guest co-host! As a co-host, the topics and speakers will be led by you, and we will support you by helping coordinate speakers, come up with an agenda, and manage the Happy Hour.
We will continue to prioritize the voices of early career ocean scientists and highlight the work of underrepresented researchers and policy-makers in the ocean sciences. Email us with ideas (Emily: emily@espadvisor.com / Rennie: rmeyers@nsf.gov)
