National Postdoc Appreciation Week
The 15th Annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) celebration takes place September 16-20, 2024! Centered around the theme of “Celebrate*Empower*Appreciate” NPAW 2024 features two national events:
This event starts National Postdoc Appreciation Week. Albert Einstein is attributed with saying “In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.” Postdocs know this reality well, in that postdoctoral training is a crucial bridge between graduate training and fully launching an independent career, whatever and however you move in your field. Just like the bridge is crucial, so are the skills with which you navigate it because it is yours, you are making the journey, and you own what happens. Let’s talk about how to do that with clear eyes (intentionality) and "elastic" strategies (resilience).
