Everyone knows someone who is a great scientist but a bad supervisor. This talk is designed to give you an introduction to the skills you can develop to be a good Manager. Talented managers of scientists get more science done. Just like doing research-this is a skill you can learn and at which you can excel. Useful resources and tools will be provided for future training.
Lunch will be served and no RSVP is necessary.
This event is sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs and the NextGen Association for Postdocs & Grad Students as part of an ongoing series of professional development workshops.
