My goal is to try and add resources to this page that might be useful for undergraduate and graduate students. Some really great articles have been written by others and I have posted links to those resources that I like. I purposely selected some of the very best resources rather than paste hundreds of articles and perspectives. I think some very important information can be taken from these select pieces.
Preparing for Undergraduate and Graduate Programs
Applying to United States programs as an International Student: written by Nuri Jeong, with contributions from Mariella Quispe-Carbajal
This is a great article to get started if you are thinking about applying to school in the US and are a resident of another country. Some of the generalities will apply to US residents as well.

R Coding for Ecology and Conservation
A Primer of Ecology with R: by M. Henry Stevens
This book is excellent for several reasons. First, it covers important topics in ecology, with great examples that discuss competitive interactions, predator-prey interactions, etc... Second, it documents all the codes in R that can be used to analyze these kinds of data. Last, it condenses examples into a format that is feasible and more approachable. It tops everything off introducing new R users to basic R coding principles. Highly recommended.
Perspectives for Young Scientists
Letters to a Young Scientist: by E. O. Wilson
This book is great. It covers important topics that I think every young scientist should consider and they are perspectives from one of the brightest ecologists of our time. I would highly recommend this for all levels of young scientists eager to learn and consider new perspectives.
