I was a member of a scientific society for many years before joining the staff nearly 20 years ago, and I endorse this position! I encourage everyone to find and join a relevant scientific society (or several). You can engage with their programs and benefit directly, or just support their mission.

It’s happening - This is something I’ve wanted to do for years and it’s finally happening #SafeCassava
