About the Event
What does it take to walk the path of a postdoctoral researcher in STEM? Join us for an inspiring lunch session where postdocs from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds share their research, challenges, and personal journeys. Their stories will spark reflection, offer practical insights, and inspire the next generation of scientists.
Postdocs, students, and faculty are all welcome to join the conversation, exchange ideas, and share perspectives to enrich this collective learning experience.
