Program starts Autumn 2019
The SMB Academic Year Program is open to all members, regardless of career stage. The purpose of the program is to encourage academic success on a variety of fronts:
- Small groups
- Writing groups – a group of 4 people who exchange writing samples and meet on a regular basis to provide constructive criticism
- Accountability groups – a group of 4 people who meet regularly for goal-setting and mutual accountability
- Mentoring pods – a group of ~5 people at different career stages who meet regularly for Q&A and mentoring regarding typical challenges on the career path
- Pair matching
- Mentor-mentee matches – A pairing of a junior scholar and a senior scholar who meet regularly for academic advice
- Peer matching – A pairing of two ‘buddies’ at the same career stage to meet regularly for academic accountability and support
- Online webinars with Q&A on academic trainings for mathematical biologists (How to write a paper, How to choose a journal, How to respond to manuscript reviews, How to collaborate with a biologist, etc.)
