Description:
Open to members and non-members, this is an opportunity to have conversations with experts in fields across freshwater science. Through a zoom call, students will be able to ask questions of SFS Fellows, professionals working in freshwater fields, and current graduate students. So bring your questions (and your favorite beverage) and join us!
This week, meet with distinguished SFS members that have been selected for their sustained excellence in freshwater research, policy, or management. They are leaders in their fields and have clearly demonstrated their commitment to expanding the boundaries of freshwater science. This week is an opportunity to get to know these fellows more closely, learn what steps they have taken to achieve what they have, and what long-term membership of SFS has meant to them.

Just like there is a diversity of freshwater organisms and habitats, there is no single career path that an education in freshwater science takes you to. Academic, government, non-profit, and industry jobs are all looking for dedicated and informed applicants, but what are these career paths like? How do you find your start? What kind of experience will make you competitive in different fields? This week is a chance to ask folks that are in these fields these important questions, build your network, and explore the opportunities that are available there under the umbrella of freshwater science.
