The Evolving Seas RCN is excited to announce the second year of our Virtual Lab Meeting Training Program.

In this program, the RCN seeks to provide training to students at the undergraduate or graduate level (“mentees”) by participating in lab meetings of a research group that shares their interests. The mentee will participate by attending lab meetings during 2021-2022. A designated “mentor” from the research group will dedicate portions of two lab meetings to the mentee’s professional development. The format for lab meetings dedicated to the mentee’s professional development is flexible, but could take the form of review of graduate school or grant application statements at lab meeting, research presentation at lab meeting, lead paper discussion at lab meeting, etc. Upon completing the program (10 lab meetings with portions of 2 lab meetings dedicated to mentee’s professional development) before May 2022, approved applicants will receive a $500 stipend (see information on eligibility in the website). 

If you are an undergraduate student or graduate student interested in being a mentee with the program, you can sign up here between September 15 and Sept 30:
