2009 Symposium
The 2009 Marine Geoscience Leadership Symposium was held on March 23-27, 2009 in Washington, DC. The goals of the MGLS were to: (1) provide a forum for recent Ph.D. graduates to present their research to peers and others in the scientific community; (2) identify and discuss areas of research that benefit from an interdisciplinary perspective; (3) develop long-lasting collaborative relationships among a cohort of young scientists; (4) provide proposal preparation training; and (5) provide a broader perspective on science policy and science funding.
Through exposure to skills that extend beyond the classroom and laboratory, the 25 early career researchers who participated in this symposium gained some of the expertise needed to serve as successful leaders and representatives of the scientific community in the years to come.
