My name is Sophie, I am the North Puget Sound volunteer coordinator for the Acidification Nearshore Monitoring Network (ANeMoNe) project through DNR. Last year, we had a cohort of UW students through the marine biology program that were hugely helpful as field volunteers, and I wanted to send you our flyer for the 2025 field season for distribution to your students. 

Mission
We prepare fellows for research careers in the life sciences, with an emphasis on students from groups traditionally marginalized in STEM.
 
Program
Fellows perform state-of-the-art scientific research in a welcoming, structured and mentored environment. Our department is diverse, with opportunities in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, human physiology, and neuroscience.
 
Fellows participate in weekly workshops that provide training in a variety of topics including navigating career paths, presenting scientific findings, writing abstracts, personal statements, applying to graduate school and more.
