In celebration of National Postdoctoral Week, the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) has shared valuable information from various postdoctoral scholars.
One scholar described being a postdoc as a crucial stage where he could translate years of training into impactful research and discoveries, laying the groundwork for a future program in cancer biology.
Another postdoc emphasized the importance of gaining the experience needed for mentoring.
One researcher noted that serving on panels allowed him to inspire and support the next generation of scientists.
For yet another postdoc, SACNAS has been a significant part of their journey since their undergraduate years.
They viewed SACNAS not just as a networking conference, but also as a platform for poster presentations and growth opportunities through the SACNAS Postdoctoral Leadership Institute.
Looking to the future, one postdoc aspires to secure a tenure-track faculty position leading a cancer research program focused on GPCR signaling and therapeutic resistance.
Another researcher aims to become a faculty member serving as a program director, overseeing a research initiative that integrates various components, including translation, basic sciences, and community engagement.
Additionally, the American Indian Science and Engineering Society has shared valuable STEM resources on its website.
These resources include the Fostering Indigenous Innovation in Robotics Education program and information about the National American Indian Science & Engineering Fair. There are also resources for Indigenous Coders and information about Educator Day at the AISES National Conference on October 4 in Minneapolis.
