The ecology & evolution seminar series #3: Prof. Evan Economo, Wed 14th March at 10:00 (C210)

Millions of people around the world secretly worry they’re not as smart or talented as other people “think” they are. The so-called Impostor Syndrome impacts both men and women in a variety of disciplines and is especially rampant in academia. This special seminar will teach you what Impostor Syndrome is, how to recognize and handle it.

This Session is for Researchers, OIST Staff and Faculty Members ONLY. Seminar for Graduate Students will be held later in the afternoon.
