Share your experience about undergraduate research
We are inviting current and former students and mentors to share their experiences about undergraduate research. We are seeking short (~200 words), first-person “Vignettes” to include in our forthcoming books, Success in Navigating Your Student Research Experience and Success Mentoring Your Student Researchers, both of which will be published in 2022 by Springer as part of their SpringerBriefs in Education series. The books are focused on undergraduate research experiences (including internships) in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM).
For details on submission, publication, and compensation, and to submit a vignette about your experience as a student researcher, click on this link to the Google Form.

- Ecology for diversity!We continue our discussion of improving DEIB in ecology. There has been much discussion of this topic in the last several decades. The need for action has never been greater.
- Diversity among ecologists?Ecology is one of the least diverse fields in STEM. A recent set of papers, including one of our own, highlights challenges and solutions for recruiting and retaining diverse people into ecology.
- Posters: The Better Choice?Posters are typically seen as a lesser choice for presenting at meetings and conferences. They are often considered less interesting or compelling than oral talks, a consolation prize, or simply a waste of time, effort, and resources. But why?
