We always focus on the future and things will be better (wrong approach); everyday do something you enjoy and make one step at a time towards your goals. – Dr. Renata

Event Description

We have all experienced the "my experiment did not work". It is the unavoidable reality of doing research. However, many frustrating moments, days, months and at times even years, can be avoided by a collective effort to be true to yourself, your colleagues, and the scientific community at large. At this meeting we will discuss best practices that will help you make contributions that really count.

Event Description

The virtual panel on Careers in STEM was held on 4/8/2022, hosted by Rutgers-Newark's Department of Psychology Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, and sponsored by the IDEA Innovation grant and iJOBS. The event featured 7 panelists who have obtained their PhDs in various STEM fields and went on to pursue careers outside academia - Dr. Itzamarie Chevere-Torres, Dr. Juan Valdez Capuccino, Dr. Kholud Dardir, Dr. Sally Blandford, Dr. Laura Braunstein, Dr. Sonya Dougal, & Dr. James Thomas
