Good morning,

Welcome to the latest issue of *The POSTDOCket*, the monthly newsletter of
the NPA.

*Reaching Out to Choose your Career Path
<https://www.nationalpostdoc.org/link.asp?e=vsloan@ucar.edu&job=3495781&ymlink=279846048&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Enationalpostdoc%2Eorg%2Fpage%2Fpostdocket%5F09181>*

*Mitchell D’Rozario, Jennifer Aumiller*

Understanding how choosing a volunteer experience and networking can affect
a career outcome through expanded networks and growth opportunities can
help a postdoc select where and when to volunteer. We are happy to
highlight Mitchell D’Rozario, PhD, who has been a member of the NPA for the
last two years. * Mobile version

*Fighting Fatigue

*Dane Pisano*

As a postdoctoral scholar, you’re busy. When your research demands most of
your time and focus, it’s easy to stop listening to your body and fall
victim to fatigue. Before you know it, your alarm goes off in the morning
and getting out of bed is harder than it has ever been. We’ve all
experienced mornings like this more than we care to admit, whether it’s due
to a sleepless night of tossing and turning or staying in the lab extra
late the night before. But the fact remains, you need your brain to be
firing on all cylinders to get some work done. So, what do you do? *Mobile

*How to Find Opportunities in the United States as an International Postdoc
<https://www.nationalpostdoc.org/link.asp?e=vsloan@ucar.edu&job=3495781&ymlink=279846048&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Enationalpostdoc%2Eorg%2Fpage%2Fpostdocket%5F09183>*

*Vidhya Sivakumaran*

In the United States, over half of postdoctoral scholars are international
trainees, demonstrating the crucial role they play in the overall endeavor
of research. While it might be tempting to stay in your home country,
looking internationally to continue can expand opportunities. Coming from
outside of the United States to pursue an international traineeship could
be exciting and adventurous both professionally and personally. *Mobile

*Building Diversity and Inclusion into a Conference from the Start

The theme for the ninth annual Postdoctoral Research Day (PDRD)
<https://www.nationalpostdoc.org/link.asp?e=vsloan@ucar.edu&job=3495781&ymlink=279846048&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Etinyurl%2Ecom%2FPDRD2018>,
held on July 12, 2018, was “Mosaic: Representing All Elements,” which
emphasized why diversity and inclusion are vital for successful science.
Since PDRD is primarily a research-oriented event, the event sought to
bring the importance of diversity to the research-interested attendees and
demonstrate how it can affect their lives in and out of the lab, even if
they’re not part of an underrepresented group. *Mobile version
