Did you know that a standard component of every CSHL meeting is a job board? Officially dubbed the Career Opportunities Board, it’s open to all meeting participants from check-in through to the last day. And starting in 2020, it will be in the lobby of Grace Auditorium, which is one of the most high-traffic spaces for CSHL meetings.

Connection is at the heart of every CSHL meeting; many of which include ancillary events beyond the standard oral and poster sessions that provide participants with a casual atmosphere to meet, speak with, and learn from one another. This post will orient and guide you through our Career Dinners and Meet the Speakers luncheons as well as two tools that are essential for nearly all scientists: elevator pitches and networking (while introverted).
