What is your name (and preferred salutation, ex: Dr. Jane Goodall) *
What is your preferred email for contact? [we will not spam you or give your email to anyone else. this is simply for planning purposes] *
What do you do professionally? [title, place of employment, a bit about what that means as a job]. If you have a website, you can direct me there.
Any other information/identities you care to share? This can include obstacles you've overcome, communities in which you are a part, or other pertinent information you'd likely share with the group.
Speakers usually present for ~20 minutes and answer questions for ~20 minutes. We spend a bit of time letting the students introduce themselves to you as well. What sort of topics would you like to cover in your 20 minute presentation?
Right now we meet on Sundays at 3 p.m. Pacific Time. Are you available to speak on a Sunday during that time?

If you are not available to speak synchronously, would you be interested in recording a talk or Q&A with Molly?

What do you enjoy doing outside of science/your job?
If you could give your 18-year old self one piece of advice, what would it be?
If you are unable/not selected to speak to the group, would you be interested as being listed as a "Mentor Contact" for the students? Our students are always looking for research mentors and career advice, while expanding their networks. This would likely mean receiving a few questions via email and maybe meeting with students one-on-one [virtually].  You can even pre-record a brief introduction of yourself for the students to get to know you!

Would you be interested in hosting a "Virtual Itty Project" (VIP) for the students to learn a science skill and help you work through data. More information about VIPs can be found here: https://forms.gle/YpnZYa4LWvyXEsaV8

VASE Speakers are currently sent a very small honorarium for their time. This is usually in the form of an e-gift card to a Black-owned business local to you. If you have a place in mind, please let me know.
Do you have any questions for VASE students or VASE organizer, Molly Matty?
