Raising a Resilient Scientist Pt. 5 (5-Part Series)

A five-part series including lectures and discussion groups for faculty, staff scientists, and administrators who mentor students and postdoctoral fellows in the biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences.

The goal of the Raising a Resilient Scientist series is to promote the mental health and well-being of the academic research community by supporting faculty and administrators to develop self-management, relationship-management, and mentoring skills. A variety of topics will be covered with a specific focus on communication and shared problem-solving to help trainees deal with the inevitable setbacks experienced in high knowledge environments.

There are five units in the series; each unit will consist of a 75-minute lecture followed by a 1-hour facilitated discussion with peers.

Registration is required.
