Kavli Postdoc Series - The Chalk Talk 2024

The Kavli Postdoc Series is a series of events that brings together Yale neuroscience postdoctoral fellows, regardless of their department affiliation, for scientific discussions, career development activities, and community building. The series will take place over multiple half-days. The series, through hands-on workshops, aims to foster a sense of community and encourage peer support, accountability, and collaborations. Topics of interest include, and are not limited to, science communication, online presence, and transition from postdoc to faculty.

This event of the Kavli Postdoc Series focuses on the chalk talk, and will be held on Thursday, October 17th, from 1:30-6:30 pm, in room 180 at 100 College St. Participants will learn about -and practice- the chalk talk.
