The AoIR newsletter is looking for your input! 1) Firstly we are looking for volunteers to report back on the upcoming conference in Vancouver - this is to go in the December edition of the Newsletter. If you are going to be blogging the conference please send us your blog links - if you would be prepared to send us your photos or write up a report on some of the sessions please let us know! We would love to be able to have your input, and to help circulate your material, to keep people updated on conference activities, highlights and news. Join the news team: 2) We are also looking for volunteers to join the newsletter team to help the existing team with commissioning articles, writing copy, compiling events and publications, collecting news on recent doctorate completion, and general AoIR news and achievements. We publish in December and June and we are looking for further input to help us develop this service. Please contact me directly if you are interested in either of these ways of contributing - we would love to have your input!
