Virtual (See event details)

Tuesday, April 29, 3-4 PM
Location: Zoom (virtual)
The BioInspired Graduate & Postdoctoral Professional Development Program is excited to conclude our workshop series on Project Management, a valuable set of skills for scientists and engineers in the lab or any professional setting. Scientists and engineers routinely use aspects of project management without even realizing it, but these skillsets can be honed and used intentionally to enhance the successful execution of experiments, writing projects, and collaborative efforts. Besides helping you more thoughtfully navigate your current projects at Syracuse, project management is an important, marketable skillset for future employment.
Workshop #5: Project Management Expert Panel
Summary: Jeremy Steinbacher, director of research operations in the Office of Research, will facilitate a panel discussion of industry project managers to delve into their personal experiences leading projects in “the real world”. We will ask the panelists to connect the dots between their scientific training and their career trajectories, and how they use these skills to bring value to internal and customer projects. Our panelists include:
- Quinta Warren, PhD, PE, PMP, Energy Research Consulting
- Melissa Vaught, PhD, PMP, University of Washington
- Kelsey Moody, PhD, MBA, Ichor Therapeutics
- John Stinnett, PhD, MBA, PMP, PMP-ACP, JP Morgan Chase
