Fostering Leadership and Opportunity at SICB
The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology is committed to building leadership opportunities for early career scientists from all backgrounds and disciplines.
In recent years, this focus has included lectures, symposia, and workshops at the annual meeting, and these have been important experiences for many and begun critical conversations. Work on guidelines for broadening participation, development of a robust meeting code of conduct and other efforts have also strengthened SICB’s foundation.
There is a lot of work to do and ongoing attention to leadership opportunities is critical. The Broadening Participation Committee, Public Affairs Committee, Education Council and other groups and individuals have and continue to provide critical leadership and tremendous effort toward SICB’s priorities. We welcome and encourage your participation in the work. You can reach out to relevant SICB leaders or directly to SICB’s President at president@sicb.org
