Please join us at the Hampton Roads Biomedical Research Consortium, room 2111 at the Tri-Cities Center (Portsmouth, VA) Â for a fun and informal seminar! Â In-person attendance is encouraged, but virtual access is provided also.
Abstract: When other researchers or potential funders see your name, what goes through their head? They might not know you well, or at all. You have a CV, yes, but honestly, who enjoys reading a CV? The first thing they're going to do is google you. If you don't show up in a google search, you don't exist. In this talk, we will provide an overview of several resources you can take advantage of to establish an identity to outsiders that describes everything you do. We will also discuss several ways to grow that identity so that it matures along with your research career.Â
