So this was fun!! It's nice to bring light to my "non-traditional" Postdoc. Honestly, we need more Postdoc programs that span beyond research at the bench. PhDs are choosing different career paths and its time that we can get proper training for it, but that's a bigger convo. 🤭
That's all the discussion questions we have! Thank you so much to our panelists and everyone who weighed in. This has been a great chat! #ASBMBLovesPostdocs

A2: Putting out new ideas makes us incredibly vulnerable -- to criticism, ridicule and a lot of other negativity. It takes strength to suggest new paths. So much easier to hide behind the status quo. #ASBMBReimagining
