[David Shiffman]

The American Elasmobranch Society, the world's oldest and largest
professional society focusing on the scientific study and management of
sharks and rays, has announced a new diversity initiative.

We are offering free one-year memberships, along with specialized
mentorship, networking, and professional development training, to early
career scientists and professionals from historically underrepresented
minority groups or from developing nations.

If you qualify, please apply! If you know someone who might qualify, please
help us by spreading the word!

More information on the program, including a link to the application, can
