- About APS
The APS Mentoring Symposium is organized annually by the Career Opportunities in Physiology Committee. Topics cover all aspects of mentoring relevant to today’s researchers, educators and trainees at all stages of their career.
Imposters, Promoters, Leaders - the Scientific Struggles presented at APS Live – EB Featured Topics on May 27, 2020
2021: Evaluation & Critiques
Symposium Abstract: In this symposium titled “Evaluation & Critiques” sponsored by the Career Opportunities in Physiology Committee, we will focus on a variety of topics. Topics to be covered include: 1) giving and receiving critiques on grant proposals; 2) giving and receiving performance evaluations; 3) giving and receiving teaching evaluations to be acquired during training, early career. The goal of this symposium is to educate the audience about how to successfully help your career or of your mentee, tips on how to self-promote and achieve leadership roles.

Symposium Abstract: In this symposium titled “Imposters, Promoters, Leaders - The Scientific Struggles” sponsored by the Women in Physiology Committee, we will focus on a variety of topics. Topics to be covered include: 1) recognizing and understanding imposter syndrome and how to resolve issues surrounding it; 2) how to successfully track and provide documentation to promote yourself and/or your mentee; 3) what keeps scientists from rising to the highest ranks of leadership and what are the skills that need to be acquired during training and early career. The goal of this symposium is to educate the audience about how to successfully help your career or of your mentee, tips on how to self-promote and achieve leadership roles.

Symposium Abstract: In this symposium entitled “Career Planning: No Scientist Left Behind” sponsored by the Women in Physiology Committee, we will focus on a variety of topics. Topics to be covered include: 1) effectively dealing with and overcoming career interruptions; 2) how to fix the leaky pipeline by successfully promoting diversity and women in science; 3) what keeps women from rising to the highest ranks of academia and how to break the glass ceiling; and 4) identifying structural issues and successes within institutions. We will have three speakers. Our first speaker will be Dr. Jacqueline Limberg (a junior/early career scientist) from the University of Missouri. She will focus on dealing with multiple commitments to work/family/health and how she has successfully overcome a career interruption. The second speaker will be Dr. Irving Vega (a mid-career scientist) from Michigan State University. He will discuss successfully promoting diversity and women in science and “how to fix the leaky pipeline” vs. "how do we keep the faucet going". Our last speaker will be Dr. Nancy Fjortoft (Dean of Pharmacy) from Midwestern University. She will focus on how to break the glass ceiling in science by describing the successes seen at Midwestern University as inclusion has been achieved at the highest leadership levels at this institution. She will focus on how to break the glass ceiling in science by describing the successes seen at Midwestern University as inclusion has been achieved at the highest leadership levels at this institution. The goal of this symposium is to educate the audience on how to successfully deal with career interruptions, provide tips on how to promote diversity and women in science in order to “keep the faucet going” and how to break the glass ceiling in science.
