Post Doc Panel summary and videos

The CMB Post Doc panel event, held on April 10th, 2014, was a success. Five post-doctoral researchers,  three scientists from academia and two scientists from industry, were on hand to answer questions from current UW-Madison biological sciences graduate students, and discuss how to pick a lab in which to do a post doc, funding questions, daily activities, and shed light on important skills used in their current positions.

If you were unable to attend the event but would like to hear what the panelists had to say concerning these topics, the session was taped and can be found below in three parts. (Please adjust your device's audio as necessary.)

The CMB professional Development committee would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the panelists, Marie Scwhinn, Megan Spurgeon, Ginger Pocock, Dominique Lisiero, and Andy Dixon for taking the time to participate, and for their thoughtful, practical, and sometimes very candid responses and discussions.
