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. Dr. Goodman will discuss what has contributed to her success, the challenges she has overcome, and advice for current postdocs. We hope that the interactions will assist postdocs in navigating their careers and will also help them build professional connections.
