(Trihydro)
Are you really prepared for the real world? This is a question that is routinely asked - by those that are just entering the work place and those that have been there for years. The current working environment is full of change and is very different that what was imagined even five years ago. This presentation will explore the transition from the academic environment to the corporate research world and to the working world beyond. Tips and tools for survival in the work place will also be presented.
