HBA-USA transfer program

HBA-USA transfer program

It's been more than a year now that the idea of one person has become a small but healthy organisation. The Hellenic Bioscientific Association of the USA, of which I am a board member, now has 208 members, mostly graduate students, professors and researchers in the biological, biomedical and other health related fields (from medicine to public health).

Well, that's no news. What is news is that we have up and running a student tranfer program for students of the Greek universities who would like to spend some time in a lab in the US, doing research, gathering experiences while getting paid. We even have our first four applicants! But the reason I'm writing about this transfer program here is to encourage you (yes, you) to tell your greek friends to at least check it out. We would like to establish this program, make it well known, help students and make our organisation respectable in the eyes of the American scientific society.
It is one project of the many that we are trying to start. Other programs include postings of positions, encouragement of collaborations and I hope a forum where the members can interact directly.

I hope you tell your friends know. I personaly think it's a great opportunity.
