  • demonstrate how to orchestrate a personal career plan that includes a postdoc and develop a Plan B and Plan C for contingencies,

  • discuss what student should do now to enhance their CVs and research reputations for the postdoc and beyond, and

  • discuss what they should look for in and how they can leverage a Postdoc appointment to that can set themselves up for success in the field.

A panel of early-career members who have gone through the postdoc (and lived to tell the tale) have graciously offered to participate and offer insight into the experience.  They are:
