Great resource for grad students and early career researchers

[Casey M]

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:

• 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. 
  
• Receive optional lunch money from mentees they support 

Best Regards,
