Seminar Topics Survey for the PDA Professional Development for Postdoctoral Scholars
The PDA is planning a seminar series on topics related to professional development for postdoctoral scholars that focus on topics that are crucial for our careers but get less attention in other seminars. To tailor the series to the needs and wishes of the MIT postdoctoral community, please fill out this survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVPO9v_taN9jy_V-pquLa5HyiITSZQu0t8Mr5LN14Rhj53yQ/viewform?pli=1>! We will announce the seminar topics and dates in early 2023!
