Share some love this Valentines Day by getting involved with the APECS mentorship program.
Since its inception, the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) has aimed to provide a continuum of knowledge in polar research and foster interactions between our members and experienced polar researchers and professionals. We would like to thank the many of you who have already participated in an APECS event by giving guidance to early-career researchers. To continue this service, we are launching a mentorship program this Valentines Day. The program consists of an online database of mentors who are willing to share their knowledge with talented early-career researchers. The initiative is an extension of the mentor panels that APECS already runs at major conferences, and will provide an unprecedented opportunity for mentors to network with early-career scientists. The level of involvement is totally up to the individual mentor, but activities may include meeting students at conferences, participating in APECS mentor panels and providing general career guidance for young scientists. Signing up is a painless 5-minute procedure. Just visit: http://www.apecs.is/mentors/sign-up Feel free to contact Kate Sinclair ([email protected]) or any other APECS Executive Committee members ([email protected]) for more information. Thanks for sharing the love with your junior colleagues, APECS Executive Committee
