2008 ASHG Annual Meeting

Trainee Program: Career Development and Networking Session - Registration

Wednesday, November 12, 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Pennsylvania Convention Center

This special program is for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows and is organized by the Professional Development Committee. ASHG trainees interested in an event designed to broaden their knowledge regarding rewarding careers ranging from laboratory research to patent law should attend. This year, we will have two concurrent plenary sessions, one focused on students, the other on post-docs. Steve Wendell, University of Pittsburgh, will speak to students about Career Opportunities and Corie Lok, Nature Networks, will speak to post-docs about online networking. Finally, a networking session with appetizers, beer and wine will be open to all participants to discuss a variety of careers including biotechnology, patent law, clinical diagnostic, academic research, policy, journalism, education, public health, and science writing. The event is limited to 250 attendees and requires this complimentary registration in addition to your ASHG meeting registration.
