    1. Thursday, Oct. 9, 2:00 PM EST
    exchange of ideas on how we are using generative AI as a tool in the lab, classroom, or office. Share your experiences and pick up tips.

2025 APS Annual Convention
Washington DC, May 22-25, 2025

WiCS+ will host an affiliate session at the upcoming APS Annual Convention
“Networking for Career Transitions”
Friday, May 23, 2025 | 3:00 PM – 4:50 PM

Session Description: Career transitions can be both expected, as when you move from one stage of training to another, and unexpected, when openings arise or circumstances change. These transition points bring uncertainty and opportunity. At times of transition, networks of peers and mentors can provide connections, advice, and support for career development. Our panelists bring expertise from multiple sectors to a discussion of building and maintaining professional networks throughout a career.
Panel discussion and Q&A will run from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm, followed by a speed networking event.

Chairs:

  • Kate Arrington, Lehigh University

  • Sarah Shomstein, The George Washington University

Presenters:

  • Deanna Barch, Washington University in St Louis

  • Iiona Scully, Exponent

  • Amber Story, Former Science Manager
