Moderators Elizabeth Yates, United States Naval Academy Kambiz Hamadani, California State University, San Marcos Presenters Wilson Francisco, NSF Silvia Ronco, Research Corporation for Science Advancement Joe Gindhart, NIH Postdoc to Faculty Q&A Transitions Forum and Luncheon 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm, Room 32AB This question-and-answer luncheon is designed for postdocs finishing and actively applying for academic faculty positions. Discussion will be led by a panel of new faculty in basic science and/or medical school departments and experienced faculty who have served as department chairs and/or part of faculty search committees. Topics for discussion include how to prepare the curriculum vitae, the interview process, networking, how to negotiate the job offer, and advice for new faculty as they balance research with their department obligations. Pre-registration was required for lunch. If you are interested in attending and did not register in advance, you are welcome to participate in the discussion on a space-available basis.

Whether it’s instantaneous like a microaggression or spans decades like salary disparities, it matters. We are talking about bias. We all have it and we can never escape it fully, so let’s learn how to deal with it. Heather Metcalf and Aspen Russell of the Association for Women in Sci- ence (AWIS) will be presenting an hour-long workshop on unconscious bias. In this workshop, participants will learn the history of bias, how it manifests in STEM, and lastly, how to work together to enact
