Events for Postdocs on November 9th

[Janet Fischer]

Boston-Area Posts,

Thanks to the generous support of Genome Canada, Science's Next Wave
will be holding a panel discussion on interviewing skills for scientists
on Tuesday, November 9, at 4pm, in the McGovern Auditorium at the 9
Cambridge Center facility of MIT's Whitehead Institute. We will have an
interesting and illustrious panel, and a reception will follow. I'll be
moderating. Yes: goodies will be served. Registration is required, but
it's easy; you can register at
http://php.aaas.org/scheduler/meetings.php .

Admission is limited, and in the past these events have filled up
quickly, so register soon!

This is a great opportunity to learn some nifty things about
interviewing, and I'm hoping to get to meet some of our readers. Looking
forward to seeing you there...
