26th: weekly meeting- Science Communication Circle
Guidelines for selecting a paper for discussion:
Just a reminder, when leading a paper discussion for MBGSA, the paper you pick to send to everyone should be: 1) Recent (<2 years old) 2) Marine related 3) Ideally <10 pages In general, reviews are easy to read but hard to discuss because they are so comprehensive and often don't include methods, analysis, etc. to critique. Most importantly, try to pick a paper that is relevant to people outside of your specific research niche. If you pick a topic that is relevant only to your system or specific set of research questions, it is going to be harder to engage other people in the discussion. Try to find something novel/controversial/paradigm-shifting that will be interesting to everyone!
