So does a career in polar science have a future? It must!

Through support, investment, and international & intergenerational dialogue. 🌍✨

At #AAORIAForum25 she felt both the hope older generations place in the younger, and the pressure that comes with it. Her message is clear: #ECOPs can only succeed with the right support and funding, no one can do this alone.

🐧 Polar-Atlantic connections in focus!

Polar researcher and #ECOP Lena Buth (#AWI) opened this all-female panel with a powerful question she's been asked👉 “Why did you pick a career with no future?”
