BU's BEST: Biomedical Careers in Academia Panel Discussion

Organized by BU's BEST (Boston University’s Broadening Experience in Scientific Training) Now what? “I’m in a biomedical training program so I’m committed to a career in the biomedical sciences but frankly, I’m not sure exactly what I want to do with my PhD/postdoctoral training. Actually, I’m not even sure I know what’s out there!” Could this be you? If so, you might want to join us to learn more about the biomedical workforce opportunities from those doing the work. We’re holding a series of panel discussions that will enable you to learn about various career opportunities, in many cases through the lenses of our Boston University alumni. Don’t limit yourself as you might be surprised to learn about career paths you had not considered. Panelists Dr. Sarah Hokanson; Associate Provost, Academic Initiatives and Operational Excellence Dr. Joseph Orofino; Bioinformatics Scientist, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine Dr. Emily Stephen; Assistant Professor, Boston University Dr. Alexandra Wink; Associate Professor, UMass Chan Medical School Moderator Dr. Barbara Schreiber; Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine This is a hybrid event (in person at 72 E.
