Following our Inclusive Culture Initiative, we will ask you to consider making a donation during the registration process

• ISBNPA has already invested 15000 USD in the 2023 Pioneers program,

Where do the registration fees go? 

Our sponsorship is small to avoid any conflict of interest.

Student & ECR Spotlight

Adriana Verdezoto Alvarado is a 3rd-year Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Delaware. Adriana’s main area of interest is the home food environment, but has learned about much more than that during the Ph.D. journey. “I have learned many unexpected things, and some of the most important ones have been learning about resilience while doing science. Opening (sometimes closed) doors and getting published takes much patience.”

Are you our next student or ECRs to spotlight on the NESI blog? We’re looking to feature members from all over the globe! Fill out this form if you’re interested in being profiled.
