<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">POWER’s professional career development seminars focus on the speaker’s personal experiences, insights into their current work, as well as work-life integration issues such as how to balance a successful career in science
and technology and raise a family.<br>
Dr. Haigis will discuss what she feels has contributed to her success, the challenges she has had to overcome, and advice for current Postdocs planning their career paths. She will also talk about maintaining a balanced life (e.g. raising a family), in light
of the rigors of an academic career.<br>
We are hoping that the interactions will assist female postdocs in navigating their careers and will also help them building the professional connections to move on to the next level in their career.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
