Career Story Blog Post By Lauren Brooks, PhD, Medical Technologist (ASCP) Trainee Rochester General Hospital/University of Rochester Medical Center

So you don’t know what you want to be when you grow up? You love bench science but the life of a PI doesn’t appeal?

Through this talk you will get a sense for which options may be available for you to consider as you continue to think about your transition out of Academia into the “real world.”
