Monthly Training Grant Breakfasts
Selected Thursdays at 9:00 AM (unless otherwise noted)
January 16, 2020
Topic: It’s 2020 and the future is now, but what is the future of academic training? We may not have flying cars, but we do have AI in our homes, pockets, and on our wrists. We have virtual reality, regenerative medicine, deep-fake video technology, tiny sensors on wild animals and inside humans, and more sci-fi in real life. The future is now… So, how can and should we update graduate and postdoctoral training?

We’ve assembled a panel of CTRD Alumni who have successful and fulfilling careers outside of academia. This event will be useful for those of you considering your career options, and that those who are professors (or want to be professors) can learn how to better mentor trainees for a more diverse set of career trajectories.
