The BMSS EFASIG will be hosting the final event in its current series of International Seminars on Thursday 11th March 2021 and the SIG co-ordinators warmly invite you to join us.

 

This event is being organised to hear from a wide range of people in our community and provide support and advice for those who are thinking about the next steps in their career. We will hear from ECRs through to retired researchers to who will be sharing the cool Mass Spectrometry based science that they now do and giving tips and advice they have learnt along the way. We will also be announcing the winner of the Leon Peters Award for the best ERC presentation of the series. The outline agenda for the meeting is as follows:

 

AGENDA:
