Meet our volunteer #EvoBioCCTeam! Today we introduce Sergio González-Mollinedo (@BiologComunista). Sergio is the founder of #EvoBioCC & a herpetologist at heart. He is a first-year PhD student working on the genomics of inbreeding depression at the University of Groningen.

We believe that mentorship with representation can go a long way ✨️ We're looking for students AMD mentors to continue with our #EvoBioMentoring program. Go to https://t.co/E619SLBUNu to learn more on how to apply. We're excited to have you 💚🤝🏽

[EvoBio Crash Course @EvoBioCC]

Probably one of the most annoying obstacles keeping Global South students out from #EvoBio are all the expenses that pile up during the application process. We feel you. We've been there. That's why we created the #EvoBioMGP to help relief those expenses 💸

Last summer we held the first edition of our Evolutionary Biology Crash Course #EvoBioCC & it was a huge success! Why do we do it? Simply put, representation matters! We want to help young students from the Global South achieve a better understanding of & access to #EvoBio.

[EvoBio Crash Course @EvoBioCC]

Hello World! Long time, no tweet! We've been working hard behind the scenes here at the #EvoBio crash course team! We are thrilled to share our updated website: https://t.co/E619SLBUNu filled with new opportunities! Stay tuned for exciting updates & remember to share! #EvoBioCC

[Augustin Chen @chen_augustin]

Very proud of this initiative!

My lab @SystBio_UU is hiring, several positions (two PhDs and one postdoc) available in connection with the @ERC_Research CoG PlastidOrigin. Links to the ads and information here: https://t.co/HO0g3SsNOO
I would greatly appreciate sharing broadly this information, many thanks

@KL_Holzmann @ANDIV1234 @Zoo3_Wuerzburg Wow! Enjoy your fieldwork Kim!! 😁

[EvoBio Crash Course @EvoBioCC]

We know students from the Global South have extra hurdles to clear in their way to a career in Evolutionary Biology. One of those is an English language requirement that has to be demonstrated by exams like TOEFL or IELTS. Not everyone can actually afford them.

[SMBEmeetings @SMBEmeetings]

Mark your calendars! This time next year, SMBE's annual conference will be in person in Ferrara, Italy on July 23-27! We look forward to seeing you and hearing about your science in a beautiful and historic setting! @OfficialSMBE
