NEUS 621 Professional Development at Scientific Conferences

Credits: 0.5
Attending scientific conferences, workshops, and seminars are critical experiences for graduate students to learn about their field, get feedback on their work, to see their work in the context of the field, meet new colleagues, spark collaborations, improve presentation skills, network with potential postdoc mentors, and many other benefits. Not all of our students have had the opportunity to attend conferences before graduate school, and all of our new students could benefit from a primer on how to get the most of out a scientific conference. This nano course will also underscore lessons learned in other Summer B offerings (NEUS 610C, D).
