Acknowledgments
The Women's Board of the Field Museum is committed to supporting women in science. The inequities within the STEM fields is an issue that is felt deeply by many of us. Supporting women and encouraging their continued involvement in these fields will benefit our entire world. Too many bright young students are discouraged and dissuaded from pursuing their passions. We recently expanded our financial support from funding fellowships for doctoral candidates to include paid internships for collegiate and high school young women. Offering these opportunities to engage with and learn from Field scientists help assure that the next generation of young women continue to be inspired and hopeful for a positive future in the sciences.
