Coronavirus Conversations:   Surviving And Thriving As A STEM Graduate
Student During The Pandemic   Friday May 22, 2020 1:00 PM (EDT), Zoom
 Co-sponsored
by The Duke University Graduate School
<https://duke.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b492b157da375c92226e71752&id=172d796789&e=6c0f1f85da>

Being a graduate student in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
Mathematics) discipline is always challenging and stressful.  How do the
stresses and challenges increase during a pandemic, when students abruptly
find themselves unable to go into their lab or do their field work?  How
can graduate students adapt to these additional challenges, and what can
advisors and graduate schools do to support them during these challenging
times?  Are new opportunities for STEM graduate students arising during the
pandemic, and if so, how can grad students take advantage of these
opportunities?

Join Duke Science & Society as we discuss the unique challenges of STEM
graduate school work during a global pandemic.

Coronavirus Conversations: A new, virtual event series from Duke Science &
Society

As we practice social distancing, engage in online learning, and work
remotely we are burdened with questions about how this pandemic is
affecting our lives, the lives of those we love, and the society we are a
part of. Over the course of this event series faculty and staff from Duke
Science and Society will join academics, lawmakers, students, researchers,
doctors, and others to shed some light on the events happening around us
and what life will start to look like moving forward.

We will have moderated, casual lunch-time discussions with brief Q&A held
via Zoom chat.
This virtual event series is open to the public.
Press covering the coronavirus outbreak are welcome to attend.
