DivSch24 Conference Success! Future Webinars

Our 2024 DiverseScholar Postdoctoral Conference (#DivSch24) was a success! Around 30 PhD trainees with 15 speakers, facilitators, and staff participated in our September 6-7 event in Orange County, CA. This seventh conference had professional development sessions, research presentations, and opportunities for recruiting. All activities support our membership in their postdoctoral and professional career exploration especially to diversify academia. We thank sponsors National Institutes of Health, Virginia Tech, and Stanford University.

We will be scheduling online webinars for selected topics so more can learn from our content experts such as about Chalk Talks for faculty job interviews. Members should watch for announcements in our monthly newsletter.
