NIH OITE Becoming a Resilient Scientist Series - Begins September 14th

We hope this email finds you well. We are pleased to let you know that we will be offering the “Becoming a Resilient Scientist” Series this Fall. The first webinar of the ten week program will be held on September 14th from 3:00 - 4:30 pm ET, followed by the group discussion a week later. For more information and to register, please visit our website: https://www.training.nih.gov/nih_becoming_a_resilient_scientist_series

 

This Series will help trainees develop the confidence and resilience they need to navigate challenging situations in school, work, and life. The series will consist of five webinars, each linked to a drop-in small-group discussion the following week. The webinars will highlight strategies needed for academic success and for thriving in research and healthcare careers. We will discuss the cultivation of skills to help trainees realize resilience and identify and deal with obstacles that get in their way. The material discussed will be helpful to individuals starting out, transitioning to their next experience, or mentoring others. Trainees may participate in any of the webinars, however it is best to participate in the entire series. Concepts and themes will be developed throughout the series, and trainees will be able to integrate, engage with, and refine the information from the individual sessions. Data show that trainees who attended most of the sessions of the earlier "Becoming a Resilient Scientist Series" reported that they had become more resilient, were better able to handle stress and conflict in their lives, and would recommend the series highly to their colleagues.

 

We hope you will join us in September. If you have any questions, please email: OITE@nih.gov with the subject line: Becoming a Resilient Scientist Series

Introduction to Graduate Writing Workshop presented by OWL

for first- and second-year graduate students

 

The expectations for writing in graduate school are much higher than for writing as an undergraduate.  As a graduate writer, you may undertake the writing of articles for publication, grants, conference presentations, a thesis or dissertation, etc.  The Introduction to Graduate Writing Workshop offered by the Purdue OWL is meant to introduce graduate students in their first or second year to various aspects of scholarly writing so that they can become successful writers in their field of study.  

 

The workshop is a four-part event, and participants are expected to attend all four sessions.  The four parts of the workshop focus on Getting Started, Drafting, Revising/Editing, and Project Planning.

 

Fall 2023

Day/Time:  Tuesdays 9:30-11:00 am ET

Dates:  September 12, 19, 26, & October 3

Format:  Virtual (Zoom)

 

Anyone interested in attending this four-part event should apply between August 28, 2023 and September 5, 2023.  Complete the application survey here.  For more information, see the introductory material in the application survey or email Writing.Lab@purdue.edu and include INTRO GRAD in the subject line.
