For faculty and PhD students in bioscience and engineering fields
MSU BEST is Back! Funded by NIH for its first 6 years, MSU BEST is being sustained by MSU as a professional development program designed specifically graduate students in bioscience and engineering disciplines who want to learn more about the landscape of career paths open to them.
As part of the BEST community, BESTies will participate in a structured program that helps them identify their personal BEST goals and values, find their BEST career fit, and put their BEST out in the world through one or more internship experiences.
BESTies who have graduated have gone on to amazing positions in law, government agencies, industry, and academic careers. Research has shown that students who participate in programs like this report better engagement with their community and their work, and data suggests a shorter time-to-degree because of these clearer goals.
Come learn more about how BEST is being re-launched this year, how you or your students can engage with BEST, or just grab some breakfast and talk about career options with staff from the Office of Graduate Career Development at the MSU Graduate School.
Please register so we can make sure to have enough food!

Team Science Skills Workshop
–
September 26, 2022
Date:
Monday, September 26, 2022 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Location:
Chittenden Hall Room 110
The next generation of scholars will increasingly work in teams. Yet, team research skills are not often an explicit part of early career training. This in-person, two-hour workshop will introduce graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to 5 core competencies for research team success. Through a mini-lecture and interactive exercises, we will learn from the emerging literature on research teams and from each other. Participants will leave with a mental framework for thinking about their teamwork, elementary skills in each of the 5 competency areas, a personal action plan for learning more, and new relationships with colleagues from across campus.
Registration is required. If the registration link is gone, either the workshop is full or the registration period has ended.
