@auva1146 @Society4ConBio Young scientists shouldn't have to pay for support or opportunity. It favors those who can afford to pay (affluent, mostly white, etc.) and it's exploitation. It's not a matter of personal 'dislike.' https://t.co/OAcvkWYU6N
@fidhw Volunteering undoubtedly plays a role in conservation careers, but i think its important to highlight the negative aspects of this as in these papers by @TheLabAndField & @RallidaeRule https://t.co/qzUcJxc0ck https://t.co/C4bxybPw0D

@pisastero This reminds me of the important piece on unpaid #wildlife #internships by @RallidaeRule and @TheLabAndField. It really is an issue of #equity and #inclusion https://t.co/11NOIwprb3
@KathWhittey @RobThomas14 @cardiffuni Why is this a voluntary position? Unpaid positions such as this, support the privileged, excluding many and limiting diversity, and are bad for science. Workers should be paid. See https://t.co/VCd5AbkgYC by @RallidaeR
@d_hawkshaw @Baileyensis @Execudork Sounds like a great opportunity - here's a paper by @RallidaeRule and @TheLabAndField on why these opportunities should be available to folks who may not have the privilege needed to volunteer their time. :) https://t.c

Another interesting example of how we expect scientists to work for free to gain experience, and how this excludes large cohorts from succeeding in the area. It is the same argument for expecting PhDs and PostDocs to move to new locations as only some have

Crucial. I recently overheard a senior professional in my field telling a junior that, "You don't need to make money until you're 30: when you're young, it's about experience." That may be fine if you live off a trust fund, but for the rest of us... https:
