Culture Chats
The culture chat format involves each presenter (an international student) giving a 15-minute presentation about their country, how they got started in geosciences and anything else that they would like to share and want everyone to know about their country.
This came out of the student-lead initiative where a need to share their stories. Each talk was followed by a Q+A session where everyone submitted their questions/curiosities in the chat box.
