This webinar will introduce students and early career researchers to the breadth of career paths that leverage science for social benefit. It will feature a panel discussion that will reflect different interdisciplinary career paths bridging science and society. The panelists represent a broad range of career trajectories, and will discuss their career journeys, share their experiences defining themselves as researchers, and describe how they build and maintain networks that enable their work to have social impact. The panel will include both a small round of moderated questions, and an opportunity for open floor questions and discussion.
