How did a prospective Aerospace Engineering student from Brazil ended up doing Chemistry research at an U.S. National Laboratory? In this professional development talk, the audience will be guided towards different paths that can be followed by scientists-in-training — from the importance of the efforts as undergraduate researchers to potential careers after getting a degree, going through how research culture differs between different groups, how outreach activities can help in career development, how to maintain a productive routine, how to outline new research projects, the most common professional and personal challenges in scientific fields, as well as strategies to overcome them. This informal panel discussion aims to guide students to define and achieve their goals as researchers in Chemistry.
