[Nhcoll-l] Broadening Participation in the Biological Sciences Workshop: Los Angeles

[Phillips,Molly]

We wanted to spread the word about an upcoming workshop at the Natural History Museum of LA County (NHMLA). This workshop is part of a western-US workshop series with a goal to introduce undergraduate students, especially those in underrepresented populations, to museum and biodiversity science careers. Similar workshops have been hosted elsewhere in the past few years:

The workshop is aimed at helping undergrads from underrepresented populations learn more about museum and biology careers. It's a two-day workshop, April 6 and 7, and participants can sign up for one or both days. On Friday, April 6, students will shadow museum staff for 'a day in the life' experience at NHMLA, La Brea Tar Pits or the Invertebrate Paleontology warehouse in Carson. Saturday April 7 will be a day of speakers, discussions, and Q&A at NHMLA all about navigating career and grad school paths.
Those in the L.A. Area: Might you be able to promote this workshop to your students? Details and registration link here:
