MWC Fireside Career Seminar
The MWC’s Early Career Steering Committee invites ECRs to another instalment of their ‘Fireside Career Seminar’ series. These talks aim to provide insight into different career pathways and how to navigate the challenges that inevitably come along the way. These seminars provide an opportunity for ECRs to hear from and chat with scientists from different disciplines and backgrounds about their career journey in an informal setting. These talks are designed to recapitulate the fireside setting, providing a space where ECRs and career scientists can chat openly
