Strategies for coping with the midcareer doldrums
Some faculty members in the biological sciences experience a midcareer letdown, slump or stuckness, otherwise known as the midcareer doldrums. These feelings may contribute to a decrease in career satisfaction even after significant achievements. Join us for a panel discussion to explore how different faculty perceive their midcareer doldrums. We will see how they employed unique coping strategies to resume moving forward toward their professional goals.
This event is sponsored by the ASBMB Women in Biochemistry and 麻豆传媒色情片 Biology Committee.
