Good news…you will have lots of support along the way

BUT…you should take charge of your education!

Scientific Skills and the “Hidden Curriculum” Parker, R Skill development in graduate education. Mol. Cell 46:

Basic Starting Points Parker, R Skill development in graduate education. Mol. Cell 46: Broad knowledge of discipline Broad interdisciplinary knowledge of experimental approaches Required courses (e.g., Molecular Genetics, Graduate Biochemistry, Cell Biology) Advanced courses Seminars, symposia, scientific meetings Journal clubs Reading the literature

Seminars, Symposia, Meetings Parker, R Skill development in graduate education. Mol. Cell 46: Graduate seminars BGE and HBM; all other graduate programs Departmental/Institutional seminar series e.g., BNL, Laufer Center, Cancer Center Symposia & Colloquia Cancer Center, Laufer Center, ICB&DD, department- and program-sponsored Scientific meetings e.g., CSHL, discipline-specific Post-talk meetings!

Research “Mechanics” Parker, R Skill development in graduate education. Mol. Cell 46: Effective oral and written communication (courses, journal clubs, graduate seminar, Center for Communicating Science, TLT Center, workshops and special seminars, group meetings, qualifying exam, poster & oral presentations; dissertation proposal defense, dissertation, manuscript preparation) Depth of knowledge in field (literature, scientific meetings, seminars) Read, evaluate and integrate literature (journal clubs, qualifying exam, reading the literature) Plan and execute experiments (HBM Methods course, journal clubs, mentor, group meetings)

Having New Ideas Parker, R Skill development in graduate education. Mol. Cell 46: Choose important research problems Reflect on the careers of other scientists Be aware of directions in science, societal needs Qualifying exam, dissertation proposal defense Have new insights – be creative! Be aware of technological developments “Chance favors the prepared mind” L. Pasteur Recommended reading: McKnight, S.L Unconventional wisdom. Cell 138:

Choosing a Research Mentor Rotations, rotations, rotations! Two “shoppers” Communication The objective vs. the subjective (GRD 500) Recommended reading: Alberts, B On becoming a scientist. Science 326: 916.

Career Development: Don’t Leave it to the End Individual Development Program Workshops (Postdoctoral Affairs, department- sponsored) Special seminars TLT Center Network (including program alumni) Reflect on career goal and update CV often!
