Career panels often do a good job of educating students about end goals, but too often the intermediate steps are neglected. Moreover, local opportunities are seldom enumerated. Here, we plan to invite early-career biophysicists and program alumni to discuss this career stage with current students.
During this event, we will start with short talks, move on to a panel discussion, and end with a light reception in which students can discuss and network. The event will be held at the HF DeLuca Biochemistry Laboratories, Rm. 175.
