SUMMARY:Making Effective Research Presentations Virtual Training
DESCRIPTION:ECO Academy\n\n\n\nThis interactive 3 hour long\, hands-on workshop is tailored for researchers in the natural sciences and guides participants through principles of scientific storytelling and visual communication. We will tackle concepts such as how to analyze your audience and tailor your communication accordingly\, how to develop a narrative arc around your research\, how to design slides effectively to get your message across\, and how to reimagine your scientific figures in the context of presenting. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring an existing or planned presentation deck with them so that they can make improvements to their decks directly through the workshop exercises. By the end of the workshop\, participants will have new strategies for effectively communicating their work and an improved slide deck! Participants will also leave with a toolkit of resources to support their continued work on their current and future presentations. \nThis workshop is particularly valuable for:\n\n\nGraduate students\, postdoctoral researchers\, and early-career scientists looking to strengthen their presentation skills.\nResearchers preparing for conferences\, seminars\, thesis defenses\, or funding presentations.\nScientists who want to improve how they explain complex research to diverse audiences.\nAnyone seeking practical strategies to create engaging presentation narratives and visually effective slides.\nResearchers with an existing or upcoming presentation who would benefit from hands-on feedback and opportunities to refine their slide deck during the workshop.

SUMMARY:Watching the ocean before the heat arrives: Coordinated marine heatwave monitoring for the 2026-27 El Niño
DESCRIPTION:The Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation and OCTO\nMarine heatwaves are one of the most direct ways climate change affects ocean biodiversity. Past events have removed kelp forests and seagrass meadows\, caused mass coral bleaching\, and triggered harmful algal blooms and fisheries closures. Global sea surface temperatures reached a record high in August 2026\, and the 2026–27 El Niño is forecast to be very strong\, increasing the likelihood of marine heatwaves across multiple ocean basins. Most of what we know about marine heatwave impacts has been assembled after the fact\, using monitoring designed for other purposes. Now\, forecasts provide weeks to months of advance warning—creating an opportunity to begin monitoring before events occur. This webinar will introduce a global protocol to enable at least one survey before and one after an event\, paired with a temperature record\, so observations can be compared across locations and methods. Participation will be open to researchers\, managers\, Indigenous knowledge holders\, community scientists\, and industry\, and contributors will retain control of their data. Join us to learn about ongoing efforts to build an international network ahead of the El Niño\, plan an in-person workshop in 2027 in Perth\, Australia\, and share knowledge through a dedicated special issue of the journal Biological Conservation. Key questions this work aims to answer include: Do impacts scale with heat exposure? Are populations at the warm edge of the heatwave most affected? Where do refuges exist?
