Testimonials

I learned tangible skills to help me do Team Scholarship – specifically around communicating expectations and management styles with senior team members, as well as strategies for thinking about how to ensure that my team science work results in favorable reviews and promotions for myself.
This helps me understand my team needs from my labs to my colleagues. I gained new insights into leadership, support for being a woman in science, and empowerment to come back to my home institution and lead!
I’ve been implementing what I’ve learned ever since and the productive results are already clear and will certainly increase in future.
This helps me understand my team needs from my labs to my colleagues.
