Learning how to do great science requires a toolbox. This toolbox contains tools for:
- Effectively communicating ideas and scholarly findings
- Making time to produce scholarship
- Securing funding for scholarly work
- Identifying where and when scholarly job opportunities arise
- Getting the offers to start a job and building the record to keep that job
We launched the Future Directions Forum to help you build your scientific toolbox. At the Forum, we offer professional development resources on all aspects of academic work, delivered through evidence-based, large-group workshops; as well as small group and one-on-one consultations that we tailor to your needs as an early career scientist.

A key element of the Forum is that it raises the public awareness of its attendees and their scholarly work. Since our first Forum in 2017, attendees deliver poster presentations about their work in an all-digital environment. Within this environment, attendees have the opportunity to present their research and interact with other attendees, and we leverage widely used social media platforms to enhance the visibility of all this work.
