The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) announces a new
mentorship program.

Since its inception, APECS has aimed to provide a continuum of knowledge
in polar research and foster interactions between their members and
experienced polar researchers and professionals. To continue this
service, they are launching a mentorship program consisting of an online
database of mentors who are willing to share their knowledge with
talented early-career researchers. The initiative is an extension of the
mentor panels that APECS already runs at major conferences, and will
provide an unprecedented opportunity for mentors to network with
early-career scientists.

The level of involvement is entirely up to the individual mentor, but
activities may include meeting students at conferences, participating in
APECS mentor panels, and providing general career guidance for young
scientists.

Signing up to become a mentor is a quick process, and can be done online
at: http://www.apecs.is/mentors/sign-up.
