The word "networking" is one of the scariest words we hear in science. It's required for all of our careers, but unlike many things we're used to, there's no preestablished protocol, no template to use, no easy guide to follow, or equations you can plug in. How do you build a network that can help you further your science and your career? In this session, learn key concepts to help remove some of the fear associated with the word "networking." Secure your seat here.
