On 15 June, an orientation session spearheaded by Faculty Specialist/CISESS Coordinator Kate Cooney was held at the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center, welcoming the latest crop of CISESS summer interns. This was followed by a “meet-and-greet” with refreshments, where the summer interns got the chance to mingle amongst themselves and with their mentors and other interested faculty members. The interns were encouraged to pick the brains of CISESS Scientists Emily Faber and Guangyang Fang, the first members of the inaugural “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) panel, a new outreach activity scheduled for various times over the summer. As the name suggests, AMA is an opportunity for interns to ask CISESS Scientists about anything, from science to more personal questions about how they got into science and why and stories in between. The fruits of the interns’ summer labor will be showcased at the end of the summer during a presentation workshop where they will give five-minute talks summarizing their research.
