Navigating a Research Career (Prof Dev Seminar)

Join us for a professional development talk with Amanda Howard, Staff Scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, as she reflects on the trajectory of her research career. In this session, she will discuss how she identified and selected research problems, navigated transitions between topics, and developed a coherent research path over time. Drawing on personal experience, she will share insights on strategic decision-making, adapting to new areas, and maintaining focus while embracing change.

This event is especially suited for graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers who are thoughtfully considering how to shape their own academic and research journeys.
