In this webinar, we will walk through how to build high quality scientific figures step-by-step from raw data. The webinar is perfect for anyone who has never used Adobe Illustrator or for novice users who want to increase the quality of their scientific figures and learn tips and tricks to increase efficiency.

All researchers will be asked to participate in the peer review process as reviewers, but an invitation can be daunting without adequate guidance. This webinar will cover the basics of reviewing a paper—from getting started to structuring feedback for authors—as well as how to get involved, tips on mentoring new reviewers, and some lesser-known benefits of agreeing to review. Attendees can submit questions at registration and during the webinar.

Mentorship is an invaluable resource in every stage of your career. Join this live ask-me-anything style webinar with neuroscientists who contributed to Neuronline’s mentoring podcast, “Think Alike?” to get your questions answered about topics ranging from seeking out a mentor and navigating your career journey, to fostering professional growth within your lab.

In this episode, Jan Naegele, PhD, and her former graduate student, Meghan Van Zandt, PhD, discuss strategies for building confidence and public speaking skills as a scientist, touching on personal experiences from graduate school to current research endeavors. Dive into their stories about mentoring, public speaking, and the importance of collaboration in the lab. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of science and effective communication!
