The Dimensions Sciences Advice, Coaching, Training, and Support program aims to provide a forum for presenting technical topics and getting peer feedback in a safe environment outside their Institutions, building English communication skills, and providing training, coaching, mentoring, and networking opportunities
Public event on Careers in Science featured a panel of early-career COVID-19 researchers and industry guests. Check out some of the most useful recommendations from the and breakout-rooms.
Remember: be visible, be balanced, and be persistent.
We host public events with expert speakers for discussion of a variety of relevant topics around science, technology, public health, education, innovation, and career development. These events aim to inform the audience on these topics, promote insightful discussions, and connect professionals in STEM careers.
We host workshops and training with expert senior professionals to help participants develop specific skills in a group setting, engaging them in practical activities. We aim to provide training in areas such as science communication, entrepreneurship, empowerment, leadership, and public policy.
We host data clubs with presentations of a research report and encourage analysis and discussions. These sessions emphasize building communication skills in technical English, peer feedback, and collaboration opportunities. We aim to fuel discussions and promote constructive peer feedback among scholars, mentors in residence, and scientific advisors.
Dimensions Sciences match Scholars with a mentor or life coach in residence for one-on-one sessions . The matching will be guided by responses provided by Scholars regarding areas of interest. After the matching process is completed calendar scheduling, frequency and nature of conversations will be responsibility of the Scholars and mentors/ coaches pairs.
