Mentorship Component: New Challenges for the Scientific Community
In these days of political uncertainty, scientists should learn how to deal with the new challenges that we have to face as a community. What can we improve? How can we change things? The session will have a panel of two scientists with experience in the political side of science. The talks will lead to an open discussion where everybody will be able to raise their concerns and suggestions.
