[Kathrin Graetz]

Dear MIT Postdocs,

I hope this is going to be the last time this week that I have to annoy you with more mails…

…but there was one important word missing in the announcement of the MIT POWER seminar talk tomorrow: “Pizza”. Please see the updated announcement below.

Best,
Kathrin

TOMORROW: Pizza & Professional career development seminar with Prof. Kristala L. Jones Prather


Join us for a professional career development seminar with
Prof. Kristala L. Jones Prather,
Theodore T. Miller Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT
organized by the Postdoctoral Organization for Women Engaged in Research (POWER) at MIT
sponsored by the Institute Community and Equity Office (ICEO) at MIT

Tuesday March 1, 2016 noon-1pm
E25-202 (http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=E25)
Please sign up if you plan to attend: http://goo.gl/forms/BEjIS2lfUC

Pizza/salad and other refreshments will be provided.

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. Prof. Prather will discuss what has contributed to her success, the challenges she has overcome, and advice for current postdocs. She will also talk about maintaining a balanced life, in light of the rigors of an industrial and academic career. We hope that the interactions will assist women postdocs in navigating their careers and will also help them build the professional connections.
