Workshop/Conference

Our advanced molecular science courses are targeted toward senior graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and young faculty who are interested in advancing their knowledge to become leaders in their fields. Individuals who have a fundamental understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics will get the most from one of these intensive courses. Instruction will be given by world class faculty from universities within the Great Lakes region, beginning with foundational information and incorporating cutting edge applications and instrumentation.

At Virginia Tech, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive community that fosters creativity, innovation, and excellence. We believe that by bringing together individuals from different backgrounds and perspectives, we can drive positive change in our communities and beyond. The Future Faculty Diversity Program (FFDP) is just one example of our commitment to supporting and nurturing the next generation of scholars and leaders.

GPS-STEM of the University of California, Irvine is offerring a Science Policy and Advocacy Certificate Program for STEM Scientists. This virtual program is designed to teach STEM graduate students and postdoctoral trainees the essential skills required for a career in science policy. The program will cover a range of topics including policy development, communication, resources and funding opportunities, networking and career pathways.

The University of Rhode Island's Metcalf Institute, Michigan State University's Knight Center for Environmental Journalism, and the URI Science and Story Lab launched the SciComm Identities Project (SCIP) to prepare the next generation of science communicators from underrepresented ethnic and racial backgrounds. The ambitious five-year collaborative project, supported by a $2.8 million National Science Foundation grant, will address a significant gap in science communication research and training by centering the m
