For the second installment of our on-the-floor recording from SfN, we find out about some lesser-known opportunities and careers available to PhDs. Misha talks to Dr. Sofia Jurgensen, senior scientist at Sanofi Genzyme and head of the SfN Training Committee about the volunteering opportunities available through the SfN committee system. We also hear from Dr. Lauren Ullrich, Health Program Specialist at NINDS, about her experience working in science advocacy and her current position at the NIH. Finally, Misha talks to Dr. Bridget Queenan, Associate Director of the UCSB Brain Initiative, about her efforts in creating interdisciplinary collaborations for neuroscientists. Tell your friends.
