Conferences are a key part of science. We attend them to hear about other people’s work and present our own, discuss new ideas, and network. Scientific conferences are also important stepping-stones in the career development of trainees. In this live Q&A, presented by iBiology in collaboration with National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN), panelists Dr. Manu Platt, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and Chair for Graduate Admission and Recruiting, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, Dr. Maritza Salazar, Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior, Claremont Graduate University, and Dr. Ahna Skop, Associate Professor in Genetics at University of Wisconsin-Madison, will offer practical advice and share their experiences getting the most out of a conference to help you advance your career.
Join us Thursday July 21, 2016 from 2:00-3:00pm ET / 11:00am-12:00pm PT!
The event will be moderated by Dr. Mónica I. Feliú-Mójer, Science Outreach Program Manager for iBiology and Vice-Director for Ciencia Puerto Rico.
