Student/Postdoctoral Fellow Mixer
Come get acquainted or reacquainted with your fellow student and postdoctoral attendees before the start of the meeting. The mixer will take place at 5:30 PM on Saturday, June 25. Students and postdoctoral attendees are encouraged to attend.
TS/MARTA Student Career Event
Take advantage of this great networking opportunity. Join MARTA and the
Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention for dinner, conversation, and networking at a Student Career
Event on Monday, June 27 from 7:30 PM–9:30 PM. This popular annual event is
for both students and postdocs attending the joint meetings of the Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention,
NBTS, and OTIS. As you prepare for the next phase in your professional career, we
extend to you an invitation to meet your fellow students and postdocs and to interact
with scientists from academia, government, and industry, where you will have the opportunity
to discuss the various career paths available.
Dine with a Teratology Ambassador
The Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention is pleased to announce a special opportunity during the meeting for small groups of students and postdoctoral fellows to meet with associate or full members of the Society for informal discussion while enjoying a continental breakfast. About six students/postdoctoral fellows will be grouped with each Ambassador. Assignments, including the date, time and location, will be confirmed prior to the Annual Meeting.
Students and postdoctoral fellows may sign up to participate in one of the breakfast meetings by indicating their preference on the Dine with an Ambassador form. Forms will be available by March 15 and must be completed no later than May 20. Students and postdoctoral fellows may sign up for only one breakfast meeting. Space is limited and assignments will be made on a first come, first-served basis.
Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention 30th Annual Volleyball Game
Come one, come all and join in the fun! The 30th Annual Volleyball Game will be
held Wednesday, June 29 at 6:00 AM. This is an event that you will not want to miss.
It is anticipated that a challenge will be issued by the "seasoned players"
to the student and postdoctoral attendees on the court. Stop by the registration
desk for more information on how to participate in this match–it is free and
open to all attendees. If you don’t play, come out and cheer!
Become More Involved
The Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention encourages Students and Postdoctoral Fellows to become more
involved by participating in the Society at the committee level. If you are interested
in being part of a Committee please contact the TS Headquarters office.
