➡️#DidYouKnow that out of all the philanthropic funding to tackle #climatechange, 90% goes to organizations led by white people, 80% to organizations led by men and only 0.2% of all foundation funding focuses explicitly on women and the environment? news.mongabay.com/2022/04/fundin…

Curious about the status of #plasticpollution in the #Arctic? Check out this review paper from @MelanieBergma18 et al. "Plastic has infiltrated all levels of the Arctic food web, including many endemic species, with largely unknown organismal impacts."

There's less than 200 nm to go until Maiden reaches Miami! After almost a month at sea, #Maiden has her final ETA into #Miami: tomorrow, the 26th April, between 2-3 pm (GMT-4) into Yacht Haven Grande!

@RandoGirl42 I'm so happy you finally got to experience it and fall in love. There's no place like Svalbard 😍

Mine too 😢♥️

Feeling really good about the science we completed on our ski journey in Svalbard - we may look NUTS but we can explain...honest! It's all about the sea ice...

We did it! 80kg of snow, ice and water samples collected plus a plethora of scientific data besides during a briiliant 9-day ski from Batentsburg to Longyearbyen in Svalbard. See more at bignorthpole.com

Ten mentees will be selected to form the inaugural Polar Impact Mentorship Initiative cohort! ✅ Community- and skill-based programming ✅ Multiple mentorship styles ✅ Clear structure and expectations Please share widely!

If you have any questions about this initiative or want to learn more, please reach out to us at hello@polarimpactnetwork.org 🐧💙

This initiative was designed based on feedback given in anonymous surveys on mentoring, as well as input from a working group of incredible polar people and mentors. We are so excited to support the @PolarImpact network and continue building community in this way!
