When I see posts like this, I interpret it as an exorbitantly expensive vacation to the Great Barrier Reef. No one seriously interested in a career in marine biology should ever think of doing something like this. For $3000 you could live for months in the Caribbean doing volunteer work that will

Thank you, Steven, for sharing your thoughts on paid-volunteer positions. I am often discouraged and frustrated by such positions. I understand that they can be a way to fund a project, but it really undervalues the whole field, not to mention that it gives those people who are financially

I am happy to see this being discussed. A similar discussion has recently started in Coral List. Steven Carrion has made an interesting point about the role that the listserv itself plays on these kind of posts. I think it would also be valuable to discuss what aspiring scientists, professors,

Very much agree with Steve's post here. Given the already high cost of university, this seems sheer exploitation. Is also a really interesting demonstration of the "charismatic megafauna " issue in conservation... On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 6:54 AM CARRION Steven wrote: > The

The whole "unpaid" vs "paid" vs "exploitative" internships discussion has been discussed in ECOLOG before but I had to bring it up again after seeing this post. A "research assistant" position wherein students have to pay a almost 3 grand to participate in an activity less than a week? And
