Examination of Career Options in the Natural Sciences by Young Scholars

15名年轻学者将在德克萨斯农工大学的住宿环境中研究自然科学(野生动物生态学、渔业/水产养殖或博物馆科学)的职业选择。项目活动包括14天的指导，解决问题，接触研究环境和当代方法，职业探索，以及对自然科学中的哲学和伦理学的思考。青年学者将通过确定选择方案、与职业专业人士讨论以及实地参观选定的研究和教育设施来加强他们的职业规划。对参与者计划的2-3年后续行动将确定项目目标的实现程度。

Fifteen young scholars will examine career options in the natural sciences (wildlife ecology, fisheries/aquaculture, or museum science) in a residential setting at Texas A & M University. Project activities include 14 days of instruction, problem solving, exposure to the research environment and contemporary methods, career exploration, and consideration of the philosophy and ethics within the natural sciences. Young scholars will enhance their career planning through identification of options, discussions with career professionals, and on-site visits to selected research and educational facilities. A planned 2-3 year follow-up of participants will determine the degree to which project goals were achieved.
