Social Events
Special events tentatively planned for MSB 2023
Supporting Inclusion in Analytical Chemistry: This session invites conference participants to join for discussion about actions we can take as students, faculty, and researchers to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our scientific communities. The session will be modelled after a GRC Power Hour and is designed to be engaging and stimulating of further conversation throughout the remainder of the meeting.
3-minute thesis competition: Calling all graduate students and postdocs! We are considering hosting a 3-minute thesis competition, in which you have the chance to showcasing the significance of your research in just 3 short minutes and 1 slide. These fun events are a great way for presenters to practice communicating their work to a general scientific audience, without jargon, and are equally fun for the audience, who gets to learn and provide a vote for the winner! Watch your email and the MSB 2023 website for opportunities to sign up to participate.
Flash poster previews: In addition to the selection of numerous oral talks from submitted abstracts, we hope to schedule "Flash talks" to highlight some of each day's poster presenters, thus allowing more trainees to be highlighted in the program and building excitement for the poster sessions.
Achieving your dream career session: This professional development session is intended for students and postdocs, as well as early career professionals. We will look at strategies to define your vision and goals, and discuss approaches to take charge of your own career path to align with your goals, whether that is a position in industry, academic research, science writing, education, policy, or any of the many other careers open to scientists in the bioanalytical sciences.
