Dear Mentoring Espresso attendee,
During our Saturday event we will have our Mentors take part in a discussion panel. They will tell us about their personal career journeys, focusing on why and how they decided to leave academia for (or combine it with) a business/industry career.
Panel will consist of these phenomenal people who successfully navigated the academia -> industry transition:

Aleks Baranczak, Biohub

Calvin Carter, Invizix

Paulina Babiak, AbbVie

Justyna Ciegotura, University of Illinois Chicago

Karol Sokołowski, Portal Innovations

If you would like to ask them a question ahead of time, you can do so here. We will make sure to include it in the panel discussion.

What question would you like to ask?

What is your name?
