Gurdon Institute Post-Doc Retreat (2009)
Friday 26th June at Robinson College, University of Cambridge
2nd Gurdon Institute Post Doc Retreat: career development in academia and beyond.
The goal of the retreat is to provide a forum for Post-Docs to interact both scientifically and socially, outside the confines of the conventional Institute setting. This 2nd Gurdon Institute Post Doc retreat will focus on exploring career development. We hope that this event will inspire all Post Docs in the Gurdon Institute to participate and help to organise future events.
