Women are underrepresented globally in science
The Institute of Human Origins (IHO) has long supported an increased opportunity for women in paleoanthropology, so we are delighted to announce a new endowment that will advance and inspire young women’s participation in science.
The Kaye Reed Scholarship Endowment will support undergraduate and graduate student research and contribute to a shift towards the gender equity needed in the research community.
The Institute of Human Origins produced a printed newsletter from 1980 to 2009 with research, news, and schedule of upcoming events and trips.View the past archive of IHO newsletters below.
Physical nature of this trip
If you have read the itinerary carefully, you can see that some of the forest and mountain trekking will require some moderately strenuous hiking. Chimpanzee, gorilla, and monkey trekking outings will be several hours each in warm temperatures. Please be sure you are physically ready to take on this amazing adventure!
