The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) is hosting a
Career Development Webinar Series, with online presentations held
Tuesdays at 5:00 p.m. GMT (9:00 a.m. AKDT, 10 a.m. PDT, 11:00 a.m. MDT,
12:00 p.m. CDT, 1:00 p.m. EDT, 7:00 p.m. in Norway). The full list of

Jennifer Provencher and Hugues Lantuit present this week's webinar
(on Tuesday, 12 October 2010), entitled "'Surviving Graduate School'
Toolbox." As students progress through graduate school, they are trained
to do science but often do not get enough training on how to BE a
scientist. This webinar will give helpful advice on how to make the most
of your graduate experience, from dealing with your advisor to
networking at conferences.
