T-4 days until the @BenthosNews Emerge & Instars application deadline! A goal of Emerge includes eliminating barriers to participation. Our technical workshops require a computer, and we have some brand new laptops we can loan fellows during these events if they're in need.
We're getting excited for #JASM22! There are just 20 days left to apply to join the new @BenthosNews Instar or Emerge cohort. If you're an undergrad, experience studying freshwater is not required - if you have passion with willingness to engage and learn, please apply!
