The session will be focused on different career paths and challenges early career scientists may face. The session will start with a brief introduction from the chairs of the IAPSO ECS working group, Alejandra Sanchez-Franks and Malin Ödalen, followed by our keynote speakers, Julia Gottschalk and Katelin Childers.
Drs. Gottschalk and Childers both have PhDs in marine science but have followed different career paths in academia and industry, respectively. They will share their career stories, talk about obstacles and choices they have faced, and share advice that can be useful along the way. We will finish with a relaxed social event where you get to know your peers.
