Fireside Chat with Dr. Emily Carter
About
The BES Early Career Network (ECN) is thrilled to announce a Fireside Chat with Prof. Emily Carter. Fireside Chats are virtual, hour-long events where an ECN member talks with the speaker about their career path, lessons they’ve learned, and any advice they have for early-career scientists, followed by questions from the audience. The purpose of BES ECN Fireside Chats is to create a platform where graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career scientists can be inspired by scientific thought leaders, gain insights into diverse career paths, and foster meaningful discussions. So, don't miss this incredible opportunity to learn from a visionary leader!
