Dear Colleague,

We invite you to circulate this email among your students and postdocs 
for professional development opportunities at the Academy.

*Career exploration*

On *December 14, 2015*, the New York Academy of Sciences and PepsiCo 
will host a special *Journey through Science Day* 
<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E121655A3384471B1C22873> 
at the Academy's headquarters in New York City. Fifty exceptional 
students and early career scientists (MS, PhD, postdoc) will be selected 
for this unique opportunity to interact with PepsiCo's R&D leadership, 
learn about their efforts to develop products rooted in science-based 
nutrition, and get an exclusive glimpse of how science has shaped their 
careers, and gain an understanding of what it is like to work in a 
global team environment. Additionally, each participant will be asked to 
present a poster on their research to highlight and share their own 
activities and interests with PepsiCo. There will be an award ceremony 
for the best posters at the end of the event.  To advertise the event 
around your campus, you can use the flyer attached to this email. For 
more information about the agenda or for application information, please

Also:

*Mentoring opportunity with the **Afterschool Mentoring Program (ASMP):* 
<http://www.nyas.org/landing/afterschool.aspx>**

The Academy is currently recruiting STEMists (typically graduate 
students or postdoctoral fellows) for the ASMP.  Mentors will be trained 
on one of several curriculum ranging from Life Sciences to Computer 
Programming and be placed in pairs at one of more than 100 unique 
afterschool sites near where they work, study, or live. Mentors begin 
meeting with their sites once a week in late October through early May.  
To date, the program has engaged over 1000 young scientists, delivering 
more than 130,000 learning hours to a population of 8,000+ middle-school 
students across the five boroughs of New York City and around the state.
