Experience for Undergraduate Students
To: ecolog-l at community.esa.org <ecolog-l at community.esa.org>


*Please share this unique PAID research opportunity for Summer 2025 with
undergraduate students in your departments and classes!*

The *Bee* *H*ealth and *E*cology *R*esearch *O*bjective (Bee-HERO) is
funded by the National Science Foundation’s International Research
Experiences for Students (NSF-IRES) program and implemented by Dr.
Alyssa Woronik
and Dr. Torrance Hanley at Sacred Heart University. It provides students
with a *paid* eight-week international research experience in Uppsala,
Sweden studying bees and exploring causes of population declines. The
five-part program also includes personalized mentorship, a series of
preparatory trainings to provide scientific background/context and develop
laboratory skills, and follow-up activities to gain valuable experience in
science communication. Bee-HERO is primarily recruiting participants from
within an approximate two-hour geographic radius of Sacred Heart University
in Fairfield, CT because *all travel/lodging costs are included in the
program*. Bee-HERO is aimed at students from marginalized groups in STEM,
with the goal of addressing systemic inequities in access to research
experiences.

Please visit the Bee-HERO website
<https://www.sacredheart.edu/academics/colleges--schools/college-of-arts--sciences/departments--schools/biology/bee-health-and-ecology-research-objective-bee-hero/>
for
more information and contact us (hanleyt2 at sacredheart.edu,
woronika at sacredheart.edu) with any questions. Thank you for helping spread
the word about this great opportunity!

Best Regards,

Torrie Hanley and Alyssa Woronik



*Interested in joining a cohort of undergraduate students for a PAID
international research experience in Sweden this summer?*

*The Bee Health and Ecology Research Objective (Bee-HERO) is a unique
opportunity to gain valuable research experience in ecology, evolution,
genetics, and more. Bee-HERO students will participate in a five-part
program that includes a PAID eight-week international research experience
in Sweden, personalized mentorship, and a series of hands-on, experiential
activities.*

*Application Deadline – Thursday, January 2nd, 2025*

*Application Link <https://etap.nsf.gov/award/7315/opportunity/9802>*

The Bee Health and Ecology Research Objective (Bee-HERO), implemented by
Sacred Heart University, is an international research experience that will
provide undergraduate students the opportunity to study bee parasites and
viruses at the *Centre for Honey Bee Research
<https://www.slu.se/en/Collaborative-Centres-and-Projects/slu-honey-bee-research-centre/>*
in
Uppsala, Sweden at the *Swedish University for Agricultural Sciences*
<https://www.slu.se/en/>.

This project provides research and personalized mentoring experiences to
students from groups that are systemically-marginalized in STEM fields. All
costs associated with program participation are covered for Bee-HERO students,
who also receive a summer research stipend. To foster the development and
success of every participant, each Bee-HERO student engages in five
mandatory program components and gains valuable experience in science
communication by presenting their findings to the public and to their
academic peers at a scientific conference. They will also develop lasting
personal and professional relationships to support their ongoing success
and development.

Bee-HERO is funded by the National Science Foundation’s International
Research Experiences for Students (NSF-IRES) program.
