Workshop/Conference

To support the well-being of academics at all levels of training, join us for a Mindfulness in Action workshop. This science-based guide to stress reduction workshop occurs on April 15, 2025 from 5-6pm EST. In this workshop, we will:

Michigan State University is conducting a photovoice study to explore what it means to be a Black scientist doing science communication in the U.S. This study is part of the Science Communication Identities Project (SCIP) funded by the National Science Foundation. This project seeks to reimagine science communication training in the U.S. by making it culturally responsive and relevant to diverse communities.

The Office of University Postdoctoral Affairs (OUPA) is excited to announce a Virtual Postdoc Preview for individuals interested in learning more about postdoctoral training at Brown University. This event is scheduled for Wednesday, March 12, 2025, from noon to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time via Zoom.

This event is aimed at advanced PhD students and current postdoctoral scholars within 1-2 years of doctoral degree completion.

The agenda will include:

Stanford PRISM is an opportunity for late-stage graduate students from broadly diverse backgrounds to explore postdoctoral training at Stanford.

Benefits:

Our advanced molecular science courses are targeted toward senior graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and young faculty who are interested in advancing their knowledge to become leaders in their fields. Individuals who have a fundamental understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics will get the most from one of these intensive courses. Instruction will be given by world class faculty from universities within the Great Lakes region, beginning with foundational information and incorporating cutting edge applications and instrumentation.

At Virginia Tech, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive community that fosters creativity, innovation, and excellence. We believe that by bringing together individuals from different backgrounds and perspectives, we can drive positive change in our communities and beyond. The Future Faculty Diversity Program (FFDP) is just one example of our commitment to supporting and nurturing the next generation of scholars and leaders.

GPS-STEM of the University of California, Irvine is offerring a Science Policy and Advocacy Certificate Program for STEM Scientists. This virtual program is designed to teach STEM graduate students and postdoctoral trainees the essential skills required for a career in science policy. The program will cover a range of topics including policy development, communication, resources and funding opportunities, networking and career pathways.
