For the benefit of those of you who couldn’t make it and for those who requested additional information at our “Selecting your Career” workshop today, I have compiled a few helpful resources for you to look at. 

 

  1. Here is the link to Dr. Adams 5 part lecture series on becoming a faculty member.  As of today, only the first 4 have been posted on Omega’s website.

  1. The two books that Dr. Son mentioned that are helpful for preparation for a career in the sciences are:

A PhD is not enough: http://www.amazon.com/Ph-D-Not-Enough-Survival-Science/dp/0201626632/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-1346004-3096063?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176396714&sr=8-1

Tomorrow’s Professor: http://www.amazon.com/Tomorrows-Professor-Preparing-Careers-Engineering/dp/0780311361/ref=pd_bbs_2/002-1346004-3096063?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176396714&sr=8-2

 

We look forward to future discussions like this that can help us prepare for our future careers.  Thanks for your attendance.
