We are looking for a partner to work with us on data collection for a representative sample of mining concessions in the Peruvian Amazon forest. We aim to gather the first large-scale baseline data, which will guide subsequent activities (2/3)

Would love help amplifying this call: @nberpubs with support from the @NIHAging, is launching a mentoring program for PhD students who are curious about topics of health & aging or students who are already interested and want to dive deeper and develop their ideas.


Great opportunity for Colombians 🇨🇴 who want to pursue grad studies in Canada 🇨🇦: linkedin.com/feed/update/ac…
