Job-hunting at ‘ACCR.’
Job-hunting is always hard but job fairs at scientific conferences can be helpful. As the all-virtual virtual annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research II gets underway, here are thoughts from job-hunters related to last year’s and this year’s AACR meeting.

Part I of the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research was all virtual. There were 61,000 attendees, including some job-hunters. I wonder how this year’s conference that is about to get underway will affect job-hunting.
This episode is with scientists talking about their hopes and allergic points as they job-hunt. It’s based on conversations with job-hunters last year and this year. The guests on this episode are: Dr. Antonio Ward of the University of South Alabama, Melat Gebru from Penn State University, Paul Tran from Augusta University and Dr. Sadr-ul Shaheed from the University of Bradford.
