In our 2025 series, we further focus on highlighting the diverse array of laboratory career pathways and how exposure to formative experiences, often through collaborations, partnerships, and unique training opportunities, can shape these laboratory career trajectories.
In the third session, laboratory professionals serving as laboratory educators and those promoting visibility of the laboratory through community outreach will be featured. This 90-minute webinar session will feature 5 esteemed panelists sharing a bit about their career trajectory, as well as a moderated Question and Answer session.
Live attendance at this webinar will be eligible for 1.5 CMLE credits (available for up to 1-month following the webinar date).
