Dear Colleagues,
Ran across this FREE excellent academic platform called figbox I would like to share with everyone. Click here: https://figbox.co/.

According to their FAQs fIgbox allow early career researchers and junior scholars the ability support each other through the exchange of feedback, academic content, etc in the following categories:

General career advice
Thesis selection/ literature review
Submission/publication advice
Postdocs applying for junior professorship positions
Quantitively and qualitative analyses
Methodological approach and design
Feedback on working scholarship/grant
Feedback on working paper
Feedback on working thesis
Replying to referee reviews from journal
Handling academic conflicts
Transitioning from academia into workplace

In exchange early career researchers:
Earn extra cash (lunch money)
Increase their mentorship/ peer-review experience
Receive verified mentorship certificates in support of CV and career
Get mentorship advice (e.g. grant proposal) from other early career researchers.
