 An important part of our job as scientists is communicating our research and its importance to others. This communication happens on many levels. We have well established methods of sharing our research with others in our field and with the broader scientific community through our publications, conference presentations, posters, etc. Our ways of communicating with the general public, decision makers, teachers and students are less formalised and often less practised, but this communication is essential for the greater impact of our research.
The IPY placed strong emphasis on education and outreach in its planning and many early career polar researchers are using this momentum to get involved in broader communication of their work and the importance of the Polar Regions. Here find out about polar science outreach activities and how to get involved, share experiences of outreach involvement, and find tips and resources for communicating research.

The National Film Board of Canada in collaboration with the Inuit Relations Secretariat of Aboriginal Affairs and the Northern Development Canada and the Government of Nunavut, Department of Education, and with the support of Inuit organizations, has selected over 40 films from its collection that represent the four Inuit regions of Canada (Nunasiavut, Nunavik, Nunavut, and Inuvialuit). These films are now being screened at various locations in Canada, as well as are available to stream online. These films span many years and have been unaltered from their original versions, and as such are interesting tools for learning about Canadian Inuit culture and the past and present relationships between Inuit and interacting cultures.

Launched in June on World Oceans Day, this competition is a celebration of the last wild ocean on Earth – the Ross Sea, Antarctica.
The Last Ocean Charitable Trust values the Ross Sea for the intact qualities of the ecosystem, the unique wildlife and sheer natural beauty. This competition is our way of sharing part of the magic of the Ross Sea with upcoming filmmakers by giving them a chance to edit and craft a short film using supplied footage. Thanks to cameraman Pete Young, photographer John Weller and Natural History New Zealand for providing the beautiful images.
Please enjoy the films and be sure to share your favourites with friends. The number of hits will be considered by the judges so spread the word!
