If you have not yet attended a meetup session, please join us for one of these upcoming sessions:
with Dr. Cindy Bulik
TODAY, May 4, 2023 12:00pm EDT US
This presentation is about everything they should teach you in graduate or medical school but don’t. Using her own non-linear career as a launching point, Dr. Bulik will share tools for defining yourself as a scientist. From exploring your own mentorship pedigree to getting to know your academic children and grandchildren, she will help you find your anchor in the world of science. Developing a sustainable approach to life as a scientist or clinician-scientist requires self-knowledge, teamwork, and getting as much help with household tasks as you can afford. Knowing your own circadian rhythms, conducting an annual SWOT and a PITA evaluation, and doing something every day that forces you not to think about work can keep you focused on what is most important in your science and in your life. Finally, Dr. Bulik will impart miscellaneous pearls of wisdom on how to seek out and be a good mentor, how to make yourself memorable (in a good way) to colleagues, how to guard against your own implicit biases, and some handy negotiation tools. You should leave the session armed with effective academic survival skills.
Cynthia Bulik, PhD, FAED is Distinguished Professor of Eating Disorders in the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she is also Professor of Nutrition in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. She is also Professor in the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Karolinska Institutet. Having developed programs and mentored trainees on three continents, she brings a global perspective to scientific success.
with the ISPG Ethics, Position, and Public Policy Committee
Thursday, May 11, 2023 8:00pm EDT US
Equitable collaboration involves recognizing an imbalance of power, and then taking action to correct it. What does this look like? Critical for the rigor, sustainability, and impact of global health research, equitable collaboration is multi-faceted, and requires regular public dialogue about what works and what doesn’t. Join the ISPG Ethics Committee for an interactive discussion of equitable collaboration in two specific domains: 1) international, collaborative research conducted in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), and 2) collaborative research conducted by established and early career investigators. The goal of this roundtable discussion is to spark open dialogue, generate ideas, and share personal experiences of both successes and failures across our international research settings.
The first eight meetups are now available to ISPG members. To access the recordings, you will need to log in to your account and navigate to the Member Portal. From there, click on "2023 Members' Meetup Recordings" and choose the session you would like to view.
This is a great resource for our community and we are so happy to be able to offer these live sessions and on-demand recordings as a benefit of your society membership!
