OK, so you want to get something out of your CANCELLED ISA paper? I PROMISE to set up a VIDEO CONFERENCE platform, so long as I get at least 12 people COMMITTING to participate, via REPLY to THIS tweet.

Here’s how this could work:

1/ I will set up a blog site called "vid-ISA Environment" or something like that. Each post will contain a short VIDEO presentation and a link to an online PDF of the corresponding paper, along with a space for comments and discussion.

2/ The site is primarily catered to the ENVIRONMENT SECTION of ISA (but other sections are encouraged to do the same - could link these up in a central space).

3/ To participate in this conference you need to submit via email three deliverables before MARCH 31 2020 (further details below/ email account to be created):
1. A link to a SHORT video presentation
2. A link to a PDF of your paper
3. A short bio and the title of your paper

4/ Finally, as a participant you also commit to providing COMMENT on at least three other papers/video presentations using the blog comment function. This may require a Google account (don’t want anonymous posts), BUT will allow feedback & discussion w authors.

5.1 VIDEO PRESENTATION: Provide a link to an online short VIDEO presentation (max 8 mins. & max 5 accompanying slides) featuring YOU discussing your paper. Could be a link to a YouTube, Vimeo, etc. Could be shot/edited using any software, including your phone!

5.2 Recommendation is to treat it like a regular ‘presentation’ - unedited, unfiltered, 8 min continuous video (it’s more engaging this way... complete with the cursory "Oh crap I only have 2 mins left" realization)!

6. Provide a link to a view-only PDF of your paper. Could be on Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever… make sure to write “Please do not cite” on there and note that it’s for the “nearly carbon-neutral vid-ISA Environment conference 2020”.

7. SHORT BIO (max 150 words) and the title of your paper... these serve as contextualizing information for the embedded video post.

8. Please note, this FREE VIDEO CONFERENCE is completely unofficial and unaffiliated to the ‘real ISA’. For what it’s worth, I wasn’t even planning to go to ISA this year b/c it was beyond my carbon budget. But now I see an OPPORTUNITY to join my colleagues.

9/ (I had asked ISA organizers way back in May last year if they were able to organize a digital conferencing platform for Hawaii. This was their response just for your information):

10/ This conference will be ‘NEARLY CARBON NEURAL’… following in the footsteps of numerous other conferences of this sort. See the Flying Less in Academia Resource Guide: flyinglessresourceguide.info

11/ Can this go on your academic CV under conference presentations? You bet it can! Will it have a stand-up reputation like the real ISA? That remains to be seen - but it could be a movement builder (You in 2030 😎: “Yeah, I participated in the inaugural… ”).

12/ PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD👆🏽 @raulpacheco @greenprofgreen @JenIrisAllan @eatingpolitics @StacyDVanDeveer @MatPaterson @JennClapp @HoffmannMatt @SarahSharms @WillWJGreaves @heff_andrew @mmildenberger @charlesbroger @jurpelai @flyingless @khar1958 thanx
