Mentorship Component: Career Panel
During this session, participants will be able to interact with a number of PhD-level career panelists. These panelists come from a variety of backgrounds, including academia, administration, industry, and scientific writing. Participants will be able to ask questions freely and engage in open discussions. Each panelist will offer a unique perspective and valuable advice for success for all of the early career scientists in attendance.
