Catch up on our 2025 training webinar series with the recordings and resources. 

SCIENCE LEADERSHIP SERIES

In a three-part series hosted by Dr. Sam Krahl of EMBO, we will cover concepts in leadership, interpersonal communication, negotiation, and conflict management, that have been tailored for the research environment to encourage healthy hard work, creativity, critical thinking, risk-taking, and honesty.

  • Introductory Principles of Negotiation
  • Understanding Conflict Management and Communication
  • Motivation and Team Development

SCIENCE WRITING - FROM GRANTS TO MANUSCRIPTS

Writing is essential to scientific work and success—from securing funding with a strong grant proposal, to publicizing your research with a compelling manuscript. CZI Science is excited to partner with AtKisson Training Group to host three sessions that will boost your grant writing and manuscript writing skills.
