IDEAL Research x NIH Hosts: Becoming a Resilient Scientist Series

September 17, 2021 by Rebecca Lopez Leave a Comment


Together with the National Institutes of Health, IDEAL Research is presenting “Becoming a Resilient Scientist” series that is open to all current Ph.D. students and post-docs in BGS. Navigating school, the career exploration process, research environments, and the stress of life can seem overwhelming and lead us to doubt ourselves just when we need confidence the most. The goal of this series is to help you develop the resilience you need to navigate challenging situations in school, work, and life. The series will consist of five webinars, each followed by a small group discussion the following week. The webinars will highlight emotional intelligence competencies needed for academic success and for thriving in research and healthcare careers. We will discuss the cultivation of skills to help you realize resilience and identify and deal with obstacles that get in your way. 

The time commitment for participants is approximately 2.5 hours per session (1.5 hours to watch the webinar live or asynchronously plus 1 hour for small group discussions). The webinar sessions are offered live the Thursday before the group discussions and can also be watched asynchronously.

The group discussions in the series are below. Participants are expected to commit to the entirety of the series.

  • Monday, September 27 – 1PM-2PM  – An Introduction to Resilience and Wellness 
  • Monday, October 11 – 1PM-2PM  – Exploring our Self-Talk: Cognitive Distortions and Imposter Fears
  • Monday, October 25 – 1PM-2PM – Self-Advocacy and Assertiveness for Scientists
  • Monday, November 8 – 1PM-2PM – Developing Feedback Resilience
  • Monday, November 22 – 1PM-2PM – Managing Up to Maximize Mentoring Relationships

Upcoming NIH OITE Webinar

April 27, 2021 by Rebecca Lopez Leave a Comment

Upcoming NIH OITE Events - BGS Career Development

The next NIH OITE webinar/small group discussion in their series focused on the mental health and wellness of biomedical trainees and research staff is open to trainees, PIs, and staff:

This month we will discuss the psychology of career decision making. This can be an overwhelming process and many of us engage in hasty decision making or get caught in a state of decision paralysis. In this workshop, we will explore factors that can influence our career decisions (hint: many of them do not have anything to do with careers!) and discuss decision-making models that focus on process and prioritization.  We will emphasize the importance of self-reflection and awareness of our personal interests, skills, values, and goals and will address the importance of flexibility. The webinar and small group discussions will be helpful for individuals making career decisions and others who provide support and encouragement to others engaged in the process. This is a one-hour webinar, followed by facilitated small group discussions. Because experts will facilitate the small groups, you must register in advance.

MONDAY MAY 3, 2021
1:00 – 3:15 PM EST
REGISTER HERE

We will provide close captioning and sign language for the event; please reach out to me if you need other assistance. Reach out to oite@nih.gov if you have any questions.
