Wilson Ornithological SocietyMeet this year's WOS Mentoring Program participants, who received full funding to attend #WOS2023 plus special professional development opportunities! "The meeting itself and WOS as an organization were incredibly welcoming and supportive," says mentee Liza Morse. "Following the meeting, I felt invigorated in my own work and inspired to continue to learn and to explore new and different aspects of avian ecology and biology that I encountered at WOS 2023." #ornithology https://wilsonsociety.org/2023/07/26/reflections-from-this-years-mentoring-program-participants/

Auriel FournierAt #WOS2023 the question was asked if I will be the youngest
@WilsonOrnithSoc president when i become president in 2025
I did some rough googling
the answer is no!
Our second president (Lynds Jones) was 25 (or turned 25 the year he became president, I didn't look up what day in a given year someone technically became president
While I will be young (either 34 or 35 depending on when the presidential hand off occurs in 2025) I won't be the youngest!
