The iEvoBio Mentorship Program pairs undergraduate and graduate students with faculty who have extensive experience in evolution, systematics, biodiversity, mathematics and/or software development to enhance their experience at iEvoBio 2012. Mentors will guide participants in collaborative and networking opportunities throughout the two-day conference.

If you would like to gain the wisdom of your colleagues' experiences by participating in this program, please email the iEvoBio 2012 organizing committee at committee@ievobio.org by June 1, indicating if you have any activities you would like to be included in the mentorship program, or a particular field of interest. You can find more information about the meeting and registration at http://ievobio.org/.

iEvoBio 2012 is sponsored by the US National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) and by Biomatters Ltd., in partnership with the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) and the Systematic Biologists (SSB).
