Join us for the 2025 LTER Strengthening Mentoring series this Spring! We
use Entering Mentoring, an evidence-based mentoring approach specifically
tailored to STEMM researchers.

Effective mentorship can set both mentees and mentors up for success, from
small projects all the way through careers. Mentors will develop skills for
engaging in productive and dynamic research mentoring relationships. These
trainings are free to attend, but space is limited, so register today

New and experienced mentors alike will find relevant content in this
interactive workshop series. The course content is flexible and easily
tailored to each individual mentor, and aims to help mentors grow more
proficient, no matter where they are starting. The four, 90 minute sessions
in April and May are timed to help mentors prepare for the summer field
season, but the skills are applicable to a broad range of experiences
across ecology and beyond.

The course is open to all career stages. This might include graduate
students advising REUs, postdocs with a field team, or faculty or staff
establishing a research program. Those in doubt are encouraged to
attend—the skills taught here apply to a wide range of mentorship scenarios.

Workshops dates (all dates are required):

Thursday, April 17 at 10:00-11:30 a.m. PT (1:00-2:30 p.m. ET)

Thursday, April 24 at 10:00-11:30 a.m. PT (1:00-2:30 p.m. ET)

Thursday, May 1 at 10:00-11:30 a.m. PT (1:00-2:30 p.m. ET)

Thursday, May 8 at 10:00-11:30 a.m. PT (1:00-2:30 p.m. ET)

*The LTER Network is excited to announce new field safety training
opportunities with the Fieldwork Initiative! *

The FIEST Training is designed to prepare researchers for the challenges
they may encounter during fieldwork. This program emphasizes the importance
of personal safety and maintaining well-being while conducting research in
various environments.

Participants in the Fieldwork Initiative’s Fieldwork Initiative Ethics and
Safety Training (FIEST) gain practical tools to identify, mitigate, and
respond to risks in fieldwork environments. The training provides
structured risk assessment frameworks, equipping organizations with
protocols to address logistical, legal, and ethical challenges in remote or
high-risk research settings. It enhances incident preparedness by
establishing clear procedures for handling emergencies, misconduct, or
security threats.

FIEST also strengthens fieldwork management efficiency by standardizing
reporting mechanisms and safety protocols, ensuring that research teams
operate within best practices that minimize risk exposure. The program
includes scenario-based training modules, enabling participants to apply
risk management principles to real-world fieldwork conditions, improving
decision-making under unpredictable circumstances.

The LTER is offering two opportunities to participate. Click on the links
