As an extension of our research ethics course for first year graduate students, we are planning to improve our efforts to provide our graduate students with insights into the various career possibilities available to scientists. We plan to expand this effort over the next few years, but to get things up and running we are planning to host several guest speakers working in different scientific environments. The four speakers we have scheduled for this semester all graduated from the UIUC, so they should be able to provide insights based upon their experience here. Travel and expenses will be provided by the Cell and Molecular Biology Training Grant.
Faculty are welcome as well.
Also, if you have any suggestions for future speakers or topics, please let us know.
