The American Elasmobranch Society, the world’s oldest and largest
professional society devoted to the scientific study and management of
sharks and their relatives, is pleased to announce that we are taking
applications for the 4th year of our Young Professional Recruitment Fund
diversity scholarship!
The scholarship is open to early career scientists and managers from
historically underrepresented minority groups and/or those who work in the
developing world who have not yet been an AES member. It provides a year of
AES membership along with specialized networking, mentorship, and
professional development training.
Applications are open until Friday, November 16th. Please help spread the
word to interested and eligible candidates!

And if any representatives of other professional societies would like to
chat with me about the YPRF model and how it can be adapted to your
organization, I’m happy to help. Sincerely,
—
