As part of our mission of providing women with the resources they need to succeed in scientific careers, we organize workshops for the entire CSHL community covering topics including:
- Speaking to be Heard
- Giving Effective Presentations
- Negotiating for What You Need
- Managing Your Finances
We also organize Practice Talks to provide opportunities for all CSHL scientists to practice giving research talks and receive constructive feedback in a supportive environment. At this moment, we are holding virtual practice talks for post-docs and graduate students. Email Andrea at moffitt@cshl.edu if you are interested.
