Career Center Workshop
What to Do When You Are Tired of Doing
What You Are Doing: A Unique Interactive
Workshop for Experienced Workers
Do you ever have “one of those days?” You know, the ones where you look
around you and wonder how long you can keep on doing what you’ve
always been doing? And how could you possibly have been doing this for
so long? And what else is out there for you? This facilitated discussion will
explore these and similar questions from the audience and then involve the
audience in providing career tips and techniques for experienced profes-
sionals. Please come prepared to share experiences and give/get advice.
We anticipate a lively discussion about choices and their consequences.

PhD Careers Beyond the Bench
Have you ever wondered how you can apply the skills learned during your PhD
in a career away from the bench? The Early Careers Committee is sponsoring
a panel to discuss the plethora of career options that exist beyond the bench,
such as publishing, science writing, patent law, policy, marketing etc. Panelists
involved in a wide variety of careers will share their personal experiences.
