Career GPS: Navigating Your Future

There is no single roadmap for a scientific career, and early‑career researchers must often embrace the unknown as they move toward their next steps. This panel offers targeted insight into strategy, transitions, and network‑building for early‑career scientists. Panelists will outline their career trajectories within and beyond academia, highlighting pivotal decisions, unexpected turns, and the skills that supported their professional growth. They will also discuss the day‑to‑day realities of their roles and the influence of mentorship and networking on their career transitions. Designed for PhD students, postdocs, and early‑career researchers, this session provides practical guidance, structured strategies, and lived experience to help attendees move from uncertainty to confident, intentional action.
