Hi all,
I've really enjoyed reading and learning about these groups, some of which I new about before and some I didn't. The Biota Project is a science education and outreach nonprofit organization focused on inclusion of historically ignored communities and environments in mainstream Western culture. We had pleasure of putting together a paper on the forming the the organization through ICB, with a summary through their blog<https://integrativeandcomparativebiology.wordpress.com/>. More information can be found on our website<https://www.thebiotaproject.org/projects/>. Please feel free to reach out to us with interests, suggestions, questions [email protected] Cheers, Sabah ________________________________ From: Ecological Society of America: grants, jobs, news <[email protected]> on behalf of Katharine Leigh <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 5, 2018 10:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ECOLOG-L] STEM opportunities for underrepresented? 500 Women Scientists!

There is a junior MANRRS for high school students as well. https://www.manrrs.org/ Carola A.
