As the biological sciences continue to expand in research depth, there is a need for highly trained individuals to fill the workforce. The field of Macrosystems Biology—the regional-to-continental scale study of ecosystems—is one of these blossoming areas in biology. The National Science Foundation has invested in the development, building, and operation of The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) as a means of studying long-term changes in ecosystems across the US on a macrosystems scale. The NEON program is the largest … Continue reading Training the next generation of Biologists: Our link to the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)
