Journeys in Neuro is a summer series exploring career and training trajectories at different stages in academia. Each event features lightning talks from a graduate student, postdoc, professor, and research assistant, sharing how they got to their current position and what it looks like on a day to day basis—followed by an extended Q&A session. Seminars will take place on Thursday, July 30th in Longwood and on Wednesday, August 5th in Cambridge.

The series is open to all in the Harvard community but is particularly geared towards high school or undergraduate researchers, post-bac scholars and early stage research assistants. Please note these events are in-person only.
