More than 500 attend the 25th annual NIEHS Biomedical Career Symposium
The 25th annual NIEHS Biomedical Career Symposium was held December 8-9 and 12-13. Two days of keynote speakers, panels, and workshops were followed by two days of one-on-one consultations for curriculum vitae (CV) and resume writing and formatting.
The annual event is led by the NIEHS Trainees Assembly and supported by the Office of Fellows’ Career Development to connect postdoctoral fellows and graduate students with career advice and opportunities throughout the broader biomedical science community. This year’s symposium, which was held virtually and captured the attention of 520 unique visitors, was co-chaired by Kathryn Headley, Ph.D., and Rachel Dee, Ph.D., both of whom are Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) fellows at NIEHS.
