Discipline-based research in atmospheric science education is a fairly new field. To encourage discussion and support growth in this area, we welcome preliminary research reports with a 7-minute presentation/7-minute discussion format where audience feedback can be solicited, as well as more polished education findings using the traditional 11-minute talk/3-minute question format.
