>>> LTER Communication Committee Meeting

>>> Attendees: Marty Downs (NCO), Julie Doll (KBS; co-chair), Clarisse Hart (HFR; co-chair; notes), Marcia Nation (CAP), Daniel Nidzgorski (CDR), Linda DiGregorio (AND), Sarah Garlick (HBR)
>>>
>>> Agenda Item 1: NCO Report-out
>>> · MDowns presented at last month’s Science Council meeting (see presentation <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3xT0TaiQmt0OWExTExsQUMzVFU/view?usp=sharing>). She did some live-polling of attendees regarding use of the intranet, ranking priority audiences, and other issues (see results <https://www.sli.do/event/gfsvm1c0/infographic/c/e5a3>). Follow-up steps include:
>>> o Marty would like to edit the LTER online directory so that it includes links to people’s ResearchGate or ORCID profiles, so that publications and other items stay up to date
>>> § LDiGregario noted that the Andrews is having this same conversation regarding maintenance of their website’s staff profiles and list of site publications.
>>> § MNation chimed in that for site websites, a dynamic list of publications is one of the best metrics of productivity. It’s difficult to use an aggregator like Google Scholar to get an accurate, comprehensive list of site publications.
>>> o The SC poll revealed that a high-priority goal is strengthening relationships between LTER scientists and the media; Marty noted the importance of thinking nationally but also doing more with regional media opportunities.
>>> o The SC poll included NSF in our highest-priority audiences; feedback from the program officers present at SC was that they want to see the Network communicating with decision-makers and the media, but that a high-priority communication audience should not be NSF particularly.
>>> o SC PIs were asked if sites should have a designated communications person; they said yes but that it felt like an unfunded mandate.
>>> · MDowns has drafted a communications roles spreadsheet <https://docs.google.com/a/nceas.ucsb.edu/spreadsheets/d/1Cd1fcT_kZJMzuPg3WUA_O8Wzlwr9cSousrzDp4VfUM8/edit?usp=sharing>that she would like feedback on from this group in the next few weeks, before sharing it with PIs. With that same email, she will share a link to the new NCO website; she will circulate the NCO link with this group as a soft launch first.
>>> · The NCO is trying to cut down on the number of email lists within the Network. We may get switched to a Google Group, which should be a seamless and almost unnoticeable transition.
>>> · NCO is currently working on three different websites. Marty welcomes thoughts and ideas for improvements of these.
>>> o an NCO website (similar to an LTER-site-level website)
>>> o a new and revised version of the LTERnet.edu <http://lternet.edu/> site (they are bringing in a web developer)
>>> o the Intranet (the goal is the take it out of the public view and make it a log-in section of LTERnet). MDowns is endeavoring to get time at the next IM meeting.
>>>
>>> Agenda Item 2: Video Abstracts
>>> · JDoll said the background here is that Phil Robertson sent her this link <http://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1748-9326/videoabstract/list/10/1;jsessionid=870165FD879E4F201234ABBB2BDFC041.c2.iopscience.cld.iop.org>, and when she followed up with them they said it was by far their most-viewed content.
>>> · MDowns said the NCO has made available to LTER a virtual training on this topic through #SciFundChallenge <https://scifundchallenge.org/> -- for $25.
>>> · The Andrews has experimented with this, prompted by journals PIs have published in: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFd4IHt3s2nvFNz4NCDr-1g <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_channel_UCFd4IHt3s2nvFNz4NCDr-2D1g&d=CwMGaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=JIxZ-AFpuKPv2mz1PYfwckARh16Laz2TrneksBiVXcE&m=HLVt8ymxFpbe3vL6k92F-gtAqkRMwsMrTDKY8kl1o38&s=qCJWmHXLorl3uPGrRamKHLZm8TTyqGYpeVsSqP2GBZ4&e=> (see StreamChem and the SCALER Project specifically)
>>> · We’d like to get some sites to try to do a video abstract – perhaps in prep for ESA. CHart is one of the leaders of the Science Communication section for ESA and could get content featured on the ESA Ecotone blog. She is also leading a project review workshop <https://eco.confex.com/eco/2016/webprogram/Session11894.html> during ESA that will have AV-savvy mentors present who could give feedback on draft video abstracts.
>>> · MDowns will put together a resource page with some good examples of video abstracts.
>>> · Julie and Lina have volunteered to help lead a working group on this topic for our committee. Marty will work with them to draft an email to all-LTER to broach the topic, solicit interest (and additional, experienced leadership), and to announce a date (maybe the 3rd week of July) for a virtual get-together for sites interested in working on this.
>>>
>>> Agenda Item 3: Working Groups
>>> · Mini-symposium (idea raised at last meeting):
>>> o MDowns said there is already a subcommittee within LTER working on this topic; she will inquire as to whether someone from this committee can join that group.
>>> o The NCO is going to propose a new format for the mini-symposium – topic-based, with feedback from NSF on the theme.
>>> · Promoting products of synthesis groups (idea raised at last meeting):
>>> o Table this for a year or so, as it will take a while for the synthesis groups to get going on products
>>> · Community of practice (idea raised at last meeting):
>>> o Populated by site-level communication reps and others in LTER interested in communication
>>> o Monthly or bi-monthly meetings around a particular communication topic or skill or case study
>>> o MNation expressed interest in this and suggested a focus on early-career scientists and web-based strategies like social media
>>> · Website
>>> o MDowns suggested this – asked for help with the structure and strategic approach of LTERnet and the Intranet.
>>>
>>> Agenda Item 4: Other Business
>>> · How do we integrate with the Education & Outreach Committee? Where is the overlap and what are our differences? Should the roles of the two groups be clarified?
>>> · How often will we meet? Quarterly – so we’ll convene again in September.
