Professional Societies
Being a bit confused as to exactly what sort of scientist I am these days, I can't really figure what (if any) professional societies I should join. My work crosses the 3 main science subjects so I could join the 3 main socieites, but that seems a bit excessive and redundant. I'm not sure whether I should go with the society most closely related to the department which employs me and will (hopefully) support me with some of the issues I face in my current environment or whether I should go with a society more closely associated with my first degree and is still relevant to my current project and is how I most readily identify myself, or should I go with the society most related to the main experimental technique and methods I use? Should I join all 3? none? find a more specialist society to join? I really have no idea at the moment.
