Networking is an essential 'soft skill' both in and out of academia. However, many people find it mysterious, intimidating and maybe even a little icky. Come talk with current and former undergraduate and graduate students (most but not all from UM), all of whom got their start in psychology and/or neuroscience, who have been successful in networking in academia, outside of it, or a little bit of both. Some have leveraged their networks to help build their scientific careers, some to help make institutional changes in their departments and/or companies, to get positions in or out of academia, or in one case, to start a $150k business in swing dancing while also doing a cog neuro postdoc. Get their insights on how they got started, strategies that did and didn't work for them, and more! Everyone is welcome, regardless of your career stage and type. We'd love to get some of your questions ahead of time to give them a chance to think about helpful resources - please complete the form here! https://forms.gle/jicgTemtCSNa8fNx5
