 Professionals mingling in an in-person networking session  

Science Networking Online
-- November 19, 2025 (Wednesday) / at 5:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM CT / 2:30 PM PT / 90 minutes 

Networking helps scientists build relationships, share resources and find career opportunities.  But networking can feel awkward, and many of us don't have safe spaces to practice networking. 

Based on feedback from our first event, this time, we'll experiment with a 90 minute session on a Wednesday in the late afternoon. 

After a brief introduction with tips for networking, you will be randomly paired up with other scientists or science students for short conversations in breakout rooms. The first 60 minutes will include 3 or 4 of these paired conversations. 

During the last 30 minutes, we will split off into larger groups to discuss a meaningful topic. The topic this month will be "If networking is about giving, what can students and early career professionals give to older scientists?" 

Join us! You will leave feeling more connected to a community of scientists who want to help each other out. 

Register before midnight on Tuesday November 18th. We will send you the zoom link an hour before the event. Register here.
