Greetings Postdocs! Is your CV in dire need of teaching experience, but you don’t have the time or opportunity to teach an entire course? Then this program is designed especially for you!
The “How-To Talks by Postdocs” series provides a low-stakes, minimal time commitment opportunity for you to gain teaching experience for which you will receive constructive feedback, a letter of acknowledgement, and optional videotaping of your 1-hour “how-to” style session. The particular topic you choose is entirely up to you and can be anything remotely related to biological sciences–the list below includes several topics that are broadly related to STEM. But you don’t need to be in biomedical or health sciences to participate.
