Join us to shape the future of science!


The Future of Research Symposium (futureofresearch.org<http://futureofresearch.org/>) is a postdoc-organized meeting on October 2-3rd on the Boston University campus. We will focus on factors shifting the landscape of scientific research: tight budgets, evolving models of both publishing and evaluation, and questions about training and workforce stability. Talks and panel discussions will be followed by highly interactive workshops designed to give students and postdocs a voice in the ongoing dialog about policies that shape our scientific future. After the symposium, we will generate a consensus opinion to be circulated to administrators, journals, and policy-makers.

Keynote speaker: Henry Bourne (UCSF)
Confirmed speakers: Marc Kirschner (Harvard Medical School), Naomi Rosenberg (Tufts), Michael Teitelbaum (Harvard Law School), Cynthia Fuhrmann (UMMS), Galit Lahav (HMS)
