Heidi Rader, University of Alaska Fairbanks professor of Extension, will discuss how and why to re-purpose one story into multiple outreach products: from an article to a blog post to a video and more. Drawing on almost two decades of experience producing dozens of YouTube videos and writing a successful blog, this session will equip non-videographer educators with practical tools for creating 'good enough' videos. Participants will learn how to identify story ideas, choose between scripted or interview-style approaches, consider their target audience, and improve audio and video quality using simple techniques.
This session will focus on building a repeatable content workflow that helps educators adapt their messages across formats efficiently, while adapting the content for different target audiences to maximize reach and maintain relevance.
The talk is geared to Extension professionals at land-grant universities throughout the United States. Register using the online form.

The UAF Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension will host a series of hourlong lunch seminars. Presentations will focus on engaging people in a conversation about the issues their research surrounds, and will be relatively informal and friendly. Talks will be about 30 minutes long, with plenty of time for questions and conversations. Register using the online form or visit https://bit.ly/CircumpolarConnections.
During these seminars, researchers will present ideas to inspire interdisciplinary collaboration and build relationships around Alaska's food systems.
Researchers and students at University of Alaska, other circumpolar institutions, and land-grant university Experiment Stations are invited to listen to IANRE researchers present ideas that spark curiosity and inspire new pathways forward.
While the seminars will focus on agriculture in the sub-Arctic and Arctic, the broader aim is to create a space for connection and dialogue, ultimately strengthening research across disciplines to support the circumpolar food system.
