One of the challenges of pursuing a career in neuroscience is to balance a scientific career with other life pursuits, including family and child rearing, and/or activities such as community service. This forum will bring together neuroscientists spanning a range of stages in their careers, who will address the challenges of balancing a professional career and life, and discuss coping strategies they have used to successfully manage the balancing act. Brief presentations will be followed by interactive small group sessions and a panel discussion led by the invited participants. All interested students, postdoctoral trainees and faculty are cordially invited to attend.
Panelists include:
Greg Ball, Ph.D. Johns Hopkins University
Heather Cameron, Ph.D. NIMH/NIH
Lique Coolen, Ph.D. University of Western Ontario
James Fadool, Ph.D. Florida State University
Debi Fadool, Ph.D. Florida State University
