With the approach of the Entomological Society of America Virtual Conference (Nov 11 - 13th 2020) we have decided to launch our new mentorship program!

Conferences are places to learn about the newest research, engaging with people, giving talks, and being seen are ways to grow your personal network, and by learning and networking we can grow as people and scientists
As most scientists can attest to, attending and navigating research conferences can be quite daunting and a little scary. Knowing the schedules of talks, workshops, and committee meetings can make anyones head spin. To alleviate some of these new-to-academia jitters, EntoPOC has decided to not only fund the registration of 40 new EntoPOC recruits (instars) to attend the 2020 Entomological Society of America Virtual Conference, but assign them each a mentor who will guide and assist them throughout the conference!
Each mentor will be paired with a new instar, both of whom will go to research talks together and learn from one another's experiences.
