About
Growing Up in Science (GUIS) is back for the 2026-2027 academic year!
In most sessions, one faculty member shares the personal side of their individual journey through academia. Occasionally, PhD-holding speakers from outside the academic research environment may also speak. The stories focus on the struggles, doubts, weaknesses, and failures we all face as young scientists. GUIS aims to normalize discussing these personal and interpersonal challenges, and supporting one another through them. There will be no (or minimal) discussion of the speaker's research.
GUIS seminars are intended for current academic trainees, including undergraduates, post-bac technicians, graduate students, post-docs, lab managers, and other in-training research support staff.
Our events are typically held on Fridays from 3-4pm, with around one speaker scheduled per month. Please join us in the first floor conference room of the Bass Biology Research Building (Room 122). Bass is across Campus Dr. from the Clark Center, and the conference room can be accessed by entering the doors on the left as you approach from Campus Dr. Snacks and drinks will be available!
