Careers Symposium:
International Collaboration:
Science Knows No Boundaries (Sponsored by APS Career Opportunities
in Physiology Committee)
Organizers:
Melinda R. Dwinell, Ph.D.
Francisco
H. Andrade, Ph.D.
The need for intellectual cross-pollination has driven
scientists to travel and communicate with peers in far-away lands. The
skills and savvy needed to establish and maintain research collaborations
across political and cultural boundaries are essential components to a
successful career in science. While initial contact with international
researchers should begin during graduate school and continue throughout
one’s career in science, learning when and how to initiate and sustain
international collaborations is never easy. This symposium aims to
emphasize the personal and scientific benefits of international
collaboration during all stages of professional life. Second, this
symposium will introduce the audience to agencies and organizations that
promote and support scientific collaboration worldwide. This symposium
will encourage international collaboration by highlighting the benefits
and opening the door to various funding opportunities available worldwide.
