Students take part in a hypothetical scenario that challenges them to inform customers at a local restaurant of how their use and disposal of plastics relates/contributes to the Great Pacific garbage patch (GPGP). What students ultimately do is research information on the plastics pollution in the oceans and present that information as a short, eye-catching newsletter suitable to hand out to restaurant customers. This activity focuses on teaching students to conduct their own research on a science-technology related topic and present it in a compelling manner that includes citing source information without plagiarism. By doing this, students gain experience and skills with general online searching as well as word processing and written and visual communication.

Long Description:
Academic research is at a crossroads because scholars are pursuing an international reputation earlier in their careers. Early career researchers often experience norms and expectations they may be unfamiliar with, specifically open access publishing, research data sharing mandates and establishing their scholarly identity via professional social media. They must learn to navigate the research lifecycle from topic selection to data collection and ultimately dissemination of their work. To address the needs of early career researchers and the educators who work with them, we created Navigating the Research Lifecycle for the Modern Researcher.
This open text (licensed CC BY NC) will help graduate students and new faculty in STEM and the social sciences navigate the complexities of academic research in the international research community. Some researchers have extensive access to support and tools along the lifecycle including sophisticated research data management and visualization tools or hands-on mentoring. However, many early career researchers are expected to navigate the lifecycle on their own, learning through their successes and struggles. This text will be a valuable resource for scholars of both types, as well as educators and mentors working with them.
