Tips for Science Trainees

Share

Picking a suitable advisor, building a scientific network, and writing papers are just a few of the many skills that are critical to a trainee’s overall success in science. Despite their importance, graduate students and postdocs don’t necessarily receive formal training on how to build these skills. Through these talks, we explore some of the different types of skills involved in doing good science and offer tips on how to develop and implement them.
