So You Want to Be a Scientist
-
Since you're trained by career academics in an academic environment, it can be hard to escape the death grip of academic science. But not only are there a multitude of terrific non-academic jobs for science trainees, these jobs are often hiding in plain sight. In this talk, writer, comedian, TV host, and molecular biologist Adam Ruben will explore the world of non-academic science careers, describe his own bizarre career path, and deliver life lessons in large fonts.

Career Everywhere: The Impact of Expanding Career Services Across Higher Education
-
Equipping students with a solid academic foundation is essential, however, to assume this is all that is needed for career success is a mistake. Student success is contingent upon the collective efforts of the entire ecosystem in higher education – holistic support – “career everywhere” mindset. Students don’t always find their way or have the bandwidth to visit the career center to meet with a career professional. And all too often by the time they do so, they are at a deficit — and carry much shame for not doing so sooner. Considering the seismic changes happening in our country, it is essential for us as educators to band together and combine forces to support the career needs of the next generation of scientists.
