Learning how to do great science requires a toolbox. This toolbox contains tools for effectively communicating ideas and scholarly findings. For making time to produce scholarship. For securing funding for scholarly work. For identifying where and when scholarly job opportunities arise. For getting the offers to start a job and building the record to keep that job. No one takes a class to acquire this toolbox, who has the time? Yet, we still need these tools, so where do we find them? We launched the Future Directions Forum to help you build your scientific toolbox. At the Forum, we offer professional development resources on all aspects of academic work, delivered through evidence-based, large-group workshops; as well as small group and one-on-one consultations that we tailor to your needs as an early career scientist.
