This summer, educators, researchers, and hydrology professionals from across the United States and Canada came together for a HydroLearn–CIROH Workshop and Hackathon. HydroLearn is an open educational platform and community that helps educators collaboratively develop, share, and adapt high-quality learning resources for hydrology and water resources engineering.
Are you interested in bringing a CUAHSI talk or training to your campus or classroom? We welcome opportunities to connect with faculty and students through virtual or in-person seminar presentations, workshops, or interactive demonstrations. CUAHSI staff are available! These sessions are tailored to your audience and can be in-person or virtual. These visits introduce water researchers and students to CUAHSI programs and tools, support data-ready research practices, and help us connect with new communities. We welcome requests from member institutions, prospective members, and the broader water science community.

Navigating Academic Waters: The Scientist Behind the Science - The Power of Storytelling in Academic and Professional Spaces
Our identities, experiences, and perspectives shape the science we do and the paths we take, and storytelling is how we communicate those experiences and connect them to our research. The ability to translate complex ideas into meaningful narratives is a powerful yet often overlooked scientific skill. The stories we tell influence not only how others understand our science, but also how they understand us as scientists. This seminar will highlight that science is not separate from the scientist, and that storytelling is an essential skill for applications, grants, networking, leadership, outreach, and career transitions. Whether crafting the "why" behind a grant proposal, writing a personal statement for graduate school, or communicating research to various audiences, participants will leave this seminar with tangible tools to improve their storytelling skills and their ability to share their story.
