Do you work with a postdoc who deserves a shout out (i.e., a public note of appreciation) during National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW)? NPAW is September 16–20, 2024, and the SOT Postdoctoral Assembly is collecting submissions from members to feature on social media and in the Postdoctoral Assembly’s newsletter, the Post-y. The contributions of postdoctoral scholars are vital to SOT and to the field of toxicology, and we want to take this opportunity to shine a spotlight on them.
This year’s theme for NPAW is “Celebrate, Empower, Appreciate.” Your shout out can celebrate a postdoc’s recent achievements, empower postdocs in the field of toxicology, or appreciate the work that a postdoc has done.
Any colleagues who work with postdocs can make a submission, whether you are their PI, a mentee, fellow postdoc, or other colleague. Please send a couple of sentences for your shout out, your name, and the name of the postdoc or postdocs to Jenna Pelsey. You also are encouraged to include a photo! Please send your submission(s) by August 30.
Since 2009, the National Postdoctoral Association has sponsored NPAW to recognize the significant contributions that postdoctoral scholars make to US research and discovery. SOT is proud to be one of the many organizations around the world that join this initiative each year.
