Minority Scientists Network
The Minority Scientists Network (MiSciNet), from ScienceCareers.org, specifically targets African American, Native American, and Latino students. MiSciNet perceives undergraduate years as the most vulnerable time in the training of minority scientists and, therefore, has placed its focus on undergraduates — especially those transitioning from 2-year to 4-year colleges and from undergraduate to graduate education. MiSciNet‘s main objective has been the wide dissemination of information about best practices. For teachers and administrators, MiSciNet propagates information on recruitment and retention. For students, it provides inspiration, stimulation, and guidance on succeeding as early-stage scientific trainees
