Dear colleagues, Do you know a post-doc or junior faculty who is an up-and-coming scientist in field biology? Nominate them for our Rising Stars in Field Biology Seminar! The Rising Star seminar series was developed to amplify the research of early career biologists, and promote networking and research opportunities for them at Mountain Lake Biological Station (MLBS) in Southwestern Virginia. We are seeking nominees who are conducting research in evolution, ecology, behavior, or related fields and have a strong emphasis on field biology. Individuals with the potential to be positive role models for junior scientists (e.g., undergraduate and graduate students, lab technicians, postdocs) would be particularly strong nominees! In addition to showcasing their work, we are particularly eager to invite speakers interested in exploring new research opportunities at MLBS. Submit your nomination(s) by 11:59 PM (EST) on January 16 using this form: https://forms.gle/67E8isp6cseXMYN79. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Corlett Wood (corlett@sas.upenn.edu).
