Materials Research Society-National Science Foundation PREM Research Scholars Summit—Tips and Tools to Build Your Network

 

Tuesday, April 11
11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Marriott, Lower B2 Level, Nob Hill

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 pre-established 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."

This event is being presented in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a part of the MRS-NSF PREM Research Scholars Summit.  All are welcome to attend.
