>>ANDP Colleagues:
>>
>>
>>
>>I am writing to ask your assistance in alerting your students and
>>colleagues to the "Professional Skills Workshop" to be held Nov. 2,
>>2002 (8:30 am - 4:30 pm) at the Orlando Conference Center, in
>>conjunction with the Society for Neuroscience (SFN) meeting, which
>>serves as its sponsor.
>>
>>
>>
>>As you may know, the workshop is based on the Survival Skills and
>>Ethics Program that Beth Fischer and I have developed at the
>>University of Pittsburgh. Several years ago, at the invitation of
>>Ranny Mize, former ANDP president, we offered this workshop on the
>>Saturday prior to the SFN meeting in New Orleans. It proved so
>>successful that we sought and obtained funding from NIH to run
>>workshops each year. Indeed, it is now expanded so as to have
>>tracks that pertain to undergraduates and junior faculty as well as
>>grad students and postdocs.
>>
>>
>>
>>The workshop will provide training in several of the professional
>>skills essential to a successful career, and will cover topics
>>including career options and job hunting, management and mentoring
>>skills, oral presentations, grantspersonship, and career
>>advancement.
>>
>>
>>
>>An announcement for the workshop, which includes the schedule, is
>>provided below and as an attachment. We would greatly appreciate it
>>if you could circulate this among your students, postdocs, and
>>faculty and/or post the notice on bulletin boards.
>>
>>
>>
>>Registration forms are available on our website,
>>www.pitt.edu/survival/sfn.html and additional information can be
>>obtained by emailing survival@pitt.edu, or by calling 412-624-7098.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>An additional note for individuals located near Orlando:
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>Although the workshop is being offered as part of the annual
>>meeting of the SFN, the workshop is not restricted to individuals
>>attending that meeting. Indeed, the topics to be addressed are
>>applicable to researchers throughout the sciences. Thus, we would
>>appreciate it if you would pass this information along to
>>individuals in other departments in your institution who might be
>>interested in traveling to Orlando specifically to attend the
>>workshop.
>>
>>
>>
>>We hope to see you in Orlando.
