Re: CBV volunteering/interning

Apologies for that, I thought we'd arranged in Madagascar time. Hasina and I managed to meet today, so no problem.

Hello,

Apologies I didn't realise it was the last day, of course we can postpone until after the holidays, no problem! I'll rearrange with Hasina in the new year. 

I have decided it would be best to visit over the summer so that I'm not as time constrained.

Many thanks and have a good holidays,

I am able to meet today at 2pm, is that EST? For Hasina that would be 10pm-too late.

Today is the last day of work at CVB before two weeks of Holiday. Maybe we should meet after the holidays. Your time in January for internship is too short, so March/April would be better for you.

Its up to Hasina when she wants to meet, but I think we should respect the holidays.

Dear Amber,

Staying for a longer period is always better as you will have more time collecting data hence you will have more data, however,

research time depends also on the topic you would like to do. 

We can schedule a zoom meeting to better discuss your program, I am always available from 9 am - 5 pm (Monday to Thursday) this week.

Looking forward to hearing back from you,

Dear Hasina, 

That sounds great, thankyou for getting back to me! 

Since I'm limited to 2-3 weeks if I visit in January (or March/April), might it be worth postponing to visit for a longer period of eg. 4-6 weeks over July/August? How long a visit would you recommend to make the most of the internship, and is research more/less active at certain times of year?

Kind regards,

Amber

Dear Amber,

We are pleased that you would like to do an internship at CVB. We have five pillars of research: 1) Biodiversity Research, 2) Climate Change and Restoration Ecology, 3) Ecosystem Genomics, 4) One Health and 5) Community Conservation education. I am attaching our annual report from last year so that you can better understand our activities.

We have a research facility overlooking the rainforest,  130 employees,  internet, dormitory beds and a dining hall. The cost of the internship would be about $1000 a month for room, meals and internet. We will develop your internship project together.

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask me with a copy to Dr Patricia Wright. 

We are looking forward to welcome you at CVB,

Hello!

I was previously in contact with Michael regarding volunteering/interning at the centre for a few weeks during January:

I'm a 3rd year undergraduate student studying medicine at the University of Cambridge, taking an intercalated degree in ecology and biological anthropology this year. I'm really interested in the intersection of environmental ecology and public health, and am currently working on a dissertation in the area. The opportunity to get involved with and learn from the integrated approach to conservation and cross-disciplinary research at Centre ValBio would hence be really exciting and valuable. 

I couldn't find any information about volunteering openings on your social media, but I'd be really enthusiastic to be a part of any of the outreach areas, though especially public health and epidemiology or field research based projects. I've also been awarded a university grant to support any travel costs/station fees etc. I look forward to hearing back!

Many thanks and best wishes,
