Career and Professional Development Writing Retreat

We know that writing can be challenging for scientists, especially when you’re writing something non-scientific. But we also know there are certain things that every scientist needs to write at some point – like a personal bio, a cover letter or résumé, a conference proposal, or a teaching statement. Writing in community, rather than in isolation, can help make this process a little less painful – and maybe even a bit fun. Come for a single 45-minute writing “sprint,” or stay for the full retreat.
