 Fri Feb 2 20:41:35 2018, Brian Clark, Antarctica -- Packing List and other advice
|
Here are a bunch of my thoughts on prepping for Antarctica. This mostly pertains to my experience travelling to the South Pole in support of the 2017-2018
ARA commissioning and calibration activities. I was at the South Pole for about a month, and accumulated about of week of time in MCM due to flight
delays. |

Don't use adverbs. Quantify!
Refer to a figure or table before discussing it -- not after.
The first sentence
of a paragraph should summarize the whole paragraph.
Know the difference between "that" and "which".
Be
careful. Are you using "I", "we", or no identifier? Be consistent. Is it personal or objective?
Be careful with past |

Amy's advice
Remember that they are not always looking for the "best" person on some absolute scale, it's about "fitting into a slot"
(that's what my advisor told me once anyway) |
