As part of its membership in FASEB, SOT monitors activities and opportunities to provide information that will benefit our members. Two upcoming webinars in September may be of interest and importance to you.
Enhancing Research Rigor & Reproducibility
Tuesday, September 11, 2018; 2:00 PM–3:00 PM ET
Science advances through the generation and publication of novel results, followed by efforts to reproduce them. This webinar will briefly review policies implemented by federal funding agencies to enhance rigor and reproducibility, provide an overview of FASEB’s 2016 recommendations to help individual scientists, professional societies, and scientific journals address and comply with these policies, and describe a pilot project in conjunction with the FASEB Scientific Research Conferences to test new strategies to enhance research transparency.

Promoting Good Mentoring in Science Careers
Tuesday, September 25, 2018; 2:00 PM–3:00 PM ET
Mentoring has been proven to help scientists succeed professionally in every aspect of their career, but there are facets of the practice that require personal optimization. This webinar will examine actions of successful mentor-mentee programs and relationships, as well as highlight how FASEB member societies are facilitating the building of our scientific community through mentoring. Presenters will address mentors and mentees with practical ways to begin and maintain the different stages and roles of the important mentor-mentee relationship. Register now
