[Ccb_gsr_listserv] [Ccb_faculty] Fwd: FEB2021 Field Safety Update: Safer Science

Thu Feb 25 10:24:15 PST 2021

I wish we had known about the field tool kit series last year when they were offered.  Can we (NRS) get recordings?

> Greetings, I hope you are all well. I was honored to participate in Cornell University's Safer Science panel discussion last week regarding identity prejudice in the field. If you weren't able to listen directly, I've shared some related publications and links below. Our UC Fieldwork Toolkit Leadership Training Series is starting next week on March 3; registration is full, but materials and recordings will be posted for all here <https://ucop.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=435d242eb85b68919be297700&id=52f673c56d&e=6cd443c932>. Also, I'm sharing below a few project and weather-related news stories from around the state...but a shorter month, means a shorter newsletter! As always, feel free to contact me directly at sarasouza at berkeley.edu <mailto:sarasouza at berkeley.edu> with any questions or suggestions. Thanks, Sara
