PALS: A Place for Postdocs
The goals of PALS are:
(1) To encourage fellowship between postdocs.
Social interactions are facilitated by refreshments at each meeting, generously provided by the Department of Biochemistry.
(2) To provide a forum for the discussion of career issues facing postdocs.
Speakers from local biotech companies and the National Institutes of Health generously share their expertise with PALS. University faculty also regularly lead meetings, lending their
perspective on the challenging career issues facing postdocs.
(3) To keep postdocs up to date on the outstanding research being conducted on campus.
Postdocs are encouraged to present their own research to PALS. The format of these talks is open, entirely up to the speaker. A secondary aspect of this goal is to spark more collaborations between postdocs at the University of Wisconsin.
