“Alternative” Career Development Event to be Held March 15, 2019

The Plant Biology Graduate Student Association is hosting an “alternative” career development  event — in reflection on the small percentage of PhDs who are likely to remain in academia after graduating. We are hosting a Q&A panel of leaders in the IP/innovation space with a networking social to follow.  The event will take place on Friday March 15th from 3-5PM in Weill Hall 224.

The goals of the event are to give attendees a sense of both what their roles might be if they pursue this type of career and the types of non-science professionals with whom they would be working. We are inviting graduate students in diverse fields to participate to create opportunities to practice sharing our work with non-expert professionals and recognize the power of interdisciplinary dialogue.

Confirmed speakers:

Zach Shulman, Devin Craven, Peter Salmon, Brad TreatJulie Baker, and Alice Li
