If you're an earth system scientist working on weather, climate, oceans, or the environment who's work has been made possible by US federal funding at some point in your career (either now, or as a graduate student or postdoc) and you're available some time between Monday June 1st and Wednesday June 3rd, we want you to speak! Each speaker will be able to give a short talk (10 min) on your science and its societal value for the general public, and about 7 min Q&A with audience questions read by a moderator/host. Because the hosts will be emphasizing the event's message, talks can briefly discuss the impact of cuts on research but should remain otherwise apolitical/nonpartisan. Over the coming weeks we will be in contact with further information about how you can claim your time slot during the stream-a-thon. Note that if you'd like to share a slot with a colleague, you can. In addition to speakers, we especially need volunteers to help host the stream for a couple of hours. You can use this form to tell us whether you are able to volunteer as a host / keep the live-stream going by speaking late / help to organize the event. If you have any questions, you can contact the organizers at organizers@wclivestream.com Please note that the entirety of the livestream will be recorded and published publicly. By signing up, you consent to the recording, distribution, and potential clipping of your segment for promotional or educational purposes.

See UCS's NOAA tracker for what's at stake and how the agency is affected by cuts.
