Confidence and Resilience in Academia
This special session focuses on confidence and resiliency building in academia for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral scholars in physics and related disciplines. Navigating degrees or post-degrees in academia is a marathon – so how do we approach our academic experiences without burning out in the process? Join Lisa Sansom for an afterhours event to engage with research, best practices, and your colleagues on raising our confidence and resilience in academic spaces and beyond!
