LAB LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP

ASPB held a comprehensive laboratory leadership workshop prior to the Plant Biology & Botany 2007 Annual Meeting. The workshop, which is modeled after similar workshops convened by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, focused on the development of key scientific lab management and leadership skills that are required for success at universities and colleges large and small. As such, it was targeted to late-stage postdocs (i.e., those actively seeking academic positions) and junior faculty.
