TO ALL GRADUATE STUDENTS Would you like a chance to get involved and trained in K-12 outreach? Would you like to help stimulate an appreciation of science in tomorrow's scientists, without ever leaving your desk?
The Ecological Society of America has teamed up with the Botanical Society of America for the 2014-2015 PlantingScience Master Plant Science Team (MPST) program. The MPST is a great way for graduate students to lead in an online mentoring experience for middle and high school students. Your involvement will help support inquiry-based science in our schools. The overall time commitment is small, but the impact you make can be substantial. Sponsored by the ESA Education Section, five selected students will receive: - FREE ESA membership and - 50% ESA 2015 Annual Meeting registration and - a Planting Science T-shirt! Please see http://www.plantingscience.org to learn about the PlantingScience program, or http://www.plantingscience.org/NewMentor to learn about serving as a mentor. Applications are due August 29, 2014 More details can be found at: http://www.esa.org/esa/?page_id=8708 Questions, please contact pst...@plantingscience.org.
