PSG Helping Elevate Long-term Participation in Science (PSG HELPS)
Are you a student (undergraduate through PhD candidate) or an early career scientist (postdoc or other professional position of less than five years) who thinks they will benefit from a sponsored Pacific Seabird Group membership?
PSG Helping Elevate Long-term Participation in Science (PSG HELPS) aims to support active participation of the next generation of seabird professionals within PSG by removing financial barriers for early career scientists and students to gain access to the group’s network, mentoring, and leadership experiences. Fill out this brief form (also available in Spanish here) to apply to PSG HELPS for a sponsored 1- or 2-year membership. One of the many benefits that membership offers is reduced annual meeting registration costs. Your voice is a vital part of PSG and your participation can help us form a stronger community! If you’re already a member of PSG and want to support the PSG HELPS program, you can donate here. Thanks for your support!
If you are a student or early career scientist (or know someone) who would be interested in receiving a sponsored membership, please email Laney White and Fernando Medrano for more information on how to join via the PSG HELPS program.
