Welcome to the MSD Working Group on Early Career Development
As the MSD community is formed and begins to grow, this Working Group will seek to expand participation among a diverse group of early career scientists, provide professional development opportunities to graduate students and post-docs, and serve as a contact point for interdisciplinary education activities taking place in the MSD community. We will foster capacity building across institutions and scientific focus areas through hosting professional development workshops and forming a community of practice for MSD researcher-teachers.
