>Why do some scientific workshops leave you energized and excited while
>others just seem to drag? Workshops can be an excellent way to share new
>information among colleagues, make cross-disciplinary connections, take
>an in-depth look at an area of scientific controversy, or scope out a
>new project or subject area. Yet, if poorly organized and executed, they
>are just a waste of everyone's time. This training will cover the major
>steps of workshop planning, from setting clear objectives, creating the
>agenda, and engaging the participants in advance, to facilitating
>discussion, handling logistics, and developing deliverables during the
>workshop.
>
>** PLEASE RSVP to Christine Wiedinmyer (christin at ucar.edu) if you would
>like to attend.**
>
>This training will be given by Amanda Staudt. Dr. Amanda Staudt provides
>scientific expertise for the National Wildlife Federation's activities
>on global warming. Prior to joining NWF, Dr. Staudt was a senior program
>officer at the National Academies, where her work focused on climate
>change, air quality, and weather impacts on transportation. As a key
>liaison between the scientific community and the federal agencies that
>support climate change research, she directed the National Academies
>Climate Research Committee and helped author over a dozen reports on
>topics including the U.S. strategy for supporting climate change
>research, radiative forcing of climate, past records of surface
>temperature, and practices for effective global change assessments. Dr.
>Staudt holds a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences (2001) and an A.B. in
>environmental engineering and sciences (1996) from Harvard University.
>
>**There will be a BROWN BAG LUNCH with Amanda following the training.
>More information to come. **
