Ongoing - becoming a resilient scientist webinar series

 BECOMING A RESILIENT SCIENTIST SERIES - please note that past webinars are recorded and available for viewing

 

Navigating school, the career exploration process, research environments, and the stress of life can seem overwhelming and lead us to doubt ourselves just when we need confidence the most. The goal of this series is to help you develop the resilience you need to navigate challenging situations in school, work and life. The webinars will highlight emotional intelligence competencies needed for academic success and for thriving in research and healthcare careers. We will discuss the cultivation of skills to help you realize resilience and identify and deal with obstacles that get in your way.  While you may participate in any of the webinars, it is best to participate in the entire series as the material relates and concepts will be developed throughout the series. The workshops and group discussions in the series are:

Unit I. An Introduction to Resilience and Wellness 

Unit II. Exploring our Self-Talk: Cognitive Distortions and Imposter Fears

Unit III. Emotions and Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace

Unit IV. Self-Advocacy and Assertiveness for Scientists

Unit V. Developing Feedback Resilience

Unit VI. Managing Up to Maximize Mentoring Relationships

We tell ourselves stories about what is happening to us and around us. In this webinar we will explore how our self-talk is generated and look at ways our self-talk can either help us be more resilient or how it can hurt us and hold us back. We will look at two important elements of our self-talk, cognitive distortions and imposter fears and explore ways to recognize internal messages and input from others that distorts our views of our abilities and accomplishments.

Part III Mar 08, 2021 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

We all need to develop the skills needed to be assertive and to advocate for ourselves, especially in hierarchical environments where we sometimes feel we do not have a voice. In this webinar, we will discuss how to set boundaries, communicate expectations, ask for feedback and discuss difficult issues with friends, mentors, colleagues and supervisors.

Part V Apr 20, 2021 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

We all need feedback to grow and learn but we often become defensive and are unable to learn from the feedback we receive, even if it is delivered well. In this webinar, we will talk about why receiving feedback is so difficult and explore ways to stay calm and engaged when receiving feedback. We will also talk about giving feedback in a calm and assertive way so that our voice can be heard.

Part VI May 10, 2021 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm 

 

Register here: https://nih.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_gwcbKET_SvWPyaeWa7f7OA

 

We all need mentors to support and encourage us throughout our educational and career journey. In this webinar, we will talk about the mentoring relationship in research environments with a focus on improving your relationship with your PI, finding mentors and on improving communication and interpersonal interactions. The webinar will help clarify what you need from your supervisors and mentors and address how to get what you need from these important interactions.

Age of Principal Investigators at the Time of First R01-Equivalent Remains Level with Recent Years in FY 2023

  Age of Principal Investigators at the Time of First R01-Equivalent Remains Level with Recent Years in FY 2023 by Mike Lauer In 2021, we  reported  that the age at which a researcher is designated on an NIH award for the first time had increased since 1995 and plateaued in the 2010s. We showed that the median age for PhDs first designated on an award remained around 41 in recent years while the median age of MDs and MD-PhDs was 44. There were no appreciable differences between researchers identifying as male or female. Today we are sharing an update on these data for fiscal years (FYs) 2021 – 2023, with the addition of information related to race, ethnicity, and disability status. We have heard concerns about the rising age at which early career researchers are first supported on an NIH award. Some concerns have centered on the ways competitive funding and academic hiring impact  early career scientists pursuing independent research careers . For simplicity in this ...

How You Can Effectively Participate in the Regulatory Process Through Public Comment

 Regulations.gov   How You Can Effectively Participate in the Regulatory Process Through Public Comment  GO TO LINK HERE   When most people think of laws, they think of bills passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. However, many legal requirements come from “regulations” or “rules” that are issued by agencies that work for the President, like the Department of Transportation or the Department of Health and Human Services, instead of Congress.  Regulations, like statutes passed by Congress, are law. Congress passes statutes that give agencies the authority to issue regulations. Regulations can impose binding legal requirements. Regulations can do everything from creating requirements for food manufacturing companies to prevent food-borne illness to outlining certain requirements for going through TSA security screening on your way to board a flight. Regulations can establish significant policies and requirements for individual citizens, state and...
