Congratulations to graduate student Carmi Milagros-Thompson (advised by Jill Leonard-Pingel), recipient of the FIELD Fellowship! Carmi's research focuses on the intersection of invertebrate paleontology, museum collections, and geoscience education.
The FIELD Fellows program is focused on graduate students. It is a multi-institution program designed as a set of cohort-based activities, professional opportunities, and virtual interventions during one academic year to build a support network. This network will serve two functions: (1) The Fellows program will build a supportive cohort of diverse graduate students from different research institutions and disciplines within the Earth sciences. (2) The program will use a research-to-practice approach, a series of virtual interventions, seminars, and working groups for Fellows to gain the qualitative and quantitative skills needed to explore diversity issues through personal and shared experiences.
