Hi WHSTEP community,</div>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
I wanted to share an exciting opportunity that I hope you can join. I’m <b>co-chairing the Graduate Climate Conference (GCC)</b> this year, and we’re thrilled to be hosting our
<b>first-ever Public Poster and Lightning Talk Session</b> right here in Woods Hole.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
The <b>Graduate Climate Conference (GCC)</b> is an annual, student-run event that brings together over 100 graduate students from around the world who are conducting innovative research on the Earth’s climate system. Topics span both the physical and social
sciences — from atmospheric and oceanic processes to political science, anthropology, and economics.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Organized <i>by graduate students, for graduate students</i>, the GCC offers a welcoming space for early-career researchers to share their work, build community, and explore creative solutions to today’s climate challenges. The conference alternates annually
between the <b>University of Washington</b> and <b>MIT</b>.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
This year’s <b>Public Poster and Lightning Talk Session</b> invites everyone — students, educators, families, and community members — to learn about cutting-edge climate research in an engaging and accessible way.
