In an effort to gather some data on the reliance (or otherwise) of research projects on entry-level labor (paid or unpaid), I'd appreciate *directors of research projects* taking a few minutes to answer some questions about their experiences. I am particularly but not exclusively interested in projects operating as either small non-profits, or in developing countries (or both); but I'm interested to hear from anyone who is actively conducting marine mammal research *and* in a position to take on interns or other entry-level positions. Please email me at phillip.clapham@gmail.com and I'll send you the survey. Thanks. -- Phillip J.
