Cambridge Postdoc Neuroscience Network: Virtual Panel DiscussionsWhen16-17 July 2020WhereZoomDescriptionDear Postdocs and Early Career Researchers,
We hope you and your loved ones are keeping well in these unusual times.
On behalf of the Cambridge Neuroscience Postdoc Neuroscience Network, we would like to invite you to the PNN Virtual Panel Discussions, taking place Thursday 16 July (10am-12pm) and Friday 17 July (2-5pm).
We appreciate that some postdocs are experiencing an even busier time than usual whereas others are unable to engage in (any) research activities. However, we hope that many of you would still be able to attend (at least part) of the event. We will also be recording the sessions so you can view them in your own time if you are unable to make (part) of the day.
The topics for this year’s event will be centered around how research is affected by the global pandemic (Day 1) and how we can use the current global crises in a positive way to identify opportunities and needs for change in academia (Day 2). Day 1 will include a panel discussion on Funding and Career Development During and After the Pandemic and Day 2’s panel discussion will focus on Shaping Long-Term Change in Academia.
This event will address issues affecting all postdocs working under the remit of Cambridge Neuroscience, but is open to everyone, including students and PIs. We welcome registrations from external postdocs.
We hope that we can use this time to connect the Cambridge Postdoc Neuroscience Community and together work towards a sustainable future for early career researchers.
With best wishes, The Postdoc Neuroscience Network Committee
