Title: The Postdoctoral Journey: Not Unlike the Ups and Downs of Cross-Country Skiing

Abstract: Join me as a I share my story of the ups and downs of life as a post-doctoral researcher. I’ll recount how I chose my path, lessons I have learnt along the way, and what’s on my mind now as I navigate this phase of my career. Alongside these personal reflections, I’ll introduce one of my recent research interests — a mathematical model I developed for cross-country skiing — where I will draw some parallels between navigating a cross-country ski track and my science career.

If you join us early at 3:30 pm in the lounge (Kidd 302), we'll have free food and conversation!
