ACS-LA is currently accepting applications for their 2024 Research Grant in the amount of $3,000 to be awarded to a qualified cetacean researcher.

My name is Patty and I am the new president of the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Cetacean Society. I wanted to make sure that all eligible researchers are aware of our grant and I thought I would reach out to you personally in case you know of anyone who could benefit by receiving this grant money towards their research. 
  

Apologies for the mass email, but Mark Denny and I are spreading the word that we will be teaching biomechanics at UW Friday Harbor Laboratories this summer (June 10 – July 12). You can get the details here: https://fhl.uw.edu/courses/course-descriptions/course/ecological-biomechanics-2024/.
Application review begins in early March and financial aid is available.  The course is pitched for grad students, but would be a great experience for an advanced undergrad, post-bac, post-doc or adventure-seeking professor.  

UW alumni provide scholarships to current UW students through many different scholarship programs throughout the year. Several of these alumni scholarship programs are open for application now through the UW Alumni Reunion, Class Gifts and Spence Scholarships application process.
