1/n Did you know that early #career researchers based in #Europe are trying to gather together (EPEC) under the cover of @europlanetmedia and work together on several different topics? On of them is #outreach of space science...

2/n Outreach plays a very important role in the scientific community. By spreading scientific news to the public, we can both inspire them and also engage different audiences with planetary sciences. However, to be good in outreach is not really easy...

3/n Therefore me and @AnastasiaKokori started a project named "Inspiring story of the month" in which we would like to share with you one story every month in which you can learn what our colleges - early career researchers - done across the Europe to promote their work/science

4/n The first story came out in January and it was about a special machine which we developed in my institute (@GFU_AVCR + @Chmee2 + ZDAR) to outreach processes associated with plate tectonics on Earth europlanet-society.org/spotlight-on-o… #platetectoncis

5/n The next one was written by @AnastasiaKokori and it was about the project in which the public can become ExoWorld Spies and contribute to missions exploring worlds orbiting other stars (#exoplanets). europlanet-society.org/inspiring-stor…

6/n In march @erjaluz shared her impressions of revisiting her old school as a scientist. She explained to students that planetary scientist can be from a small town and from their school :) europlanet-society.org/back-home-back…

7/n The story for April was written by Anna Łosiak and was about a place where science meets fantasy in the magical world of comic-cons. She showed how sci-fi and fantasy knowledge can be used as a starting point into the world of science. europlanet-society.org/inspiring-stor…

#comiccons

8/n We already know which story will be published in May and June (and yes, they will be again very cool ;) ), but we are looking for more! So if you are a young planetary scientists based somewhere in Europe and you did some very cool outreach project, please, let us know!

9/n The next inspiring story for May is about doodling the science. @ZachDickeson is explaining how he draws inspiration from the planets and it is really cool! Just read it here: europlanet-society.org/inspiring-stor…

10/n This month @europlanetmedia inspiring story by @Hannah_Sargey is about sending a stratospheric #balloon with the help of school #children in an attempt to spark their #love for the #space exploration :) #EPEC #EUROPLANET #verylaaargeballooooon

11/n Another month passed so here is a new #inspiringstory about outreach activity performed by early career scientist (#EPEC). This time by Melissa Mirino from @OU_SPS about meetings where the public can meet planetary scientists! europlanet-society.org/inspiring-stor… @europlanetmedia #space

@OU_SPS @europlanetmedia @IVaratharajan @ZachDickeson @AnastasiaKokori @anitaheward 12/n In #August, you can learn how José Silva, a member of @europlanetmedia Early Career Network (#EPEC) sailed to bring the joy of #science to people living on the coast of #Portugal. Another #inspiringstory is out :) europlanet-society.org/inspiring-stor…

@OU_SPS @europlanetmedia @IVaratharajan @ZachDickeson @AnastasiaKokori @anitaheward 13/n In #September we published another @europlanetmedia #EPEC inspiring story which was this time prepared by @JanLukacevic. He shared with us his ideas how to use social medias for doing #outreach. europlanet-society.org/inspiring-stor…

@OU_SPS @europlanetmedia @IVaratharajan @ZachDickeson @AnastasiaKokori @anitaheward @JanLukacevic 14/n In #October the next @europlanetmedia #EPEC inspiring story was prepared by Mai Wada and she tells us how she has been working with two early career #astronomers to enhance our understanding of the #universe. europlanet-society.org/inspiring-stor…

@OU_SPS @europlanetmedia @IVaratharajan @ZachDickeson @AnastasiaKokori @anitaheward @JanLukacevic 15/n In #November the theme of @europlanetmedia #EPEC inspiring story was how to set up a network that links travelling scientists with local communities and the story was prepared by Athanasia Nikolaou. europlanet-society.org/inspiring-stor…
