Being a postdoc is not easy and there can be many challenges along the way. This breakfast presents an opportunity for postdoctoral Annual Meeting attendees to meet and discuss the issues they face in their cur rent career stage. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear and learn from speakers who will share their journeys, experiences, and success stories. Limited to the first 100 attendees.
