Our mission is to mitigate the stresses of graduate school by fostering a healthy social life and proactive professional development. We aim to provide spaces for members to socialize with fellow graduate students, post docs, visiting scholars, researchers, and faculty outside of their scientific discipline. We are committed to organizing meetings, panels, and informational sessions focused on developing as a scientist and honing professional skills. Through these events, we seek to facilitate networking and collaboration at all levels, as well as create a long-lasting, supportive community for both overcoming challenges and celebrating accomplishments throughout our scientific careers.
