IPY International Program Office director Dr.Dave Carlson dips into a garbage bin held by Jenny Baeseman, director of APECS (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists) . Dave drew a piece of paper with the mock theme for the next International Polar Year in 2032.
The theme's acronym was IHUGE. Trust me, it was clean and it related to polar science.
The exercise was part of an interactive mixer that had scientists, journalists and teachers working together. It was part communication exercise, part "mingle outside your scientific comfort zone." The crowd loved it.

The mixer was the brainchild of Jenny Baeseman, who was later seen walking on air.
