‘Creativity and Innovation in Research’ theme for Postdoc Day

‘Creativity and Innovation in Research’ is the theme for Postdoctoral Research Day, presented by the CU Postdoctoral Office.

The event is March 14 at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, Research Center 2, Trivisible Room. Abstract submission continues now through Feb. 17.

This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Roberta Ness, dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston. She is the author of “Genius Unmasked” and “Innovation Generation: How to Produce Creative and Useful Scientific Ideas.”

The agenda includes poster sessions, three selected oral presentations by postdoctoral fellows, a talk by the 2014 postdoctoral mentor of the year, nonacademic career roundtables, and a reception that hosts a musical band headed by Dr. John Kappler. The prizes for poster winners will be awarded during the reception. All postdoctoral fellows/trainees at the University of Colorado Denver and CU Anschutz Medical Campus are invited to participate. Your poster could win you a $1,000 prize.

Faculty, staff and doctoral students are welcome to attend and show support.
