Networking Opportunities
YSC hosts a number of interesting and new networking concepts because we believe it is critical to meet, interact, and exchange ideas with other CRS members both with other Young Scientists and the broader CRS community. These interactions are a crucial part of career development, and networking contacts for present and future career opportunities. Networking activities held during the Annual Meeting include:
Young Scientist Meet & Greet

Take Care of Your Career
The Young Scientist Committee aims to help junior members from the CRS to succeed in their careers and boost employability within or outside Academia by publishing career development articles.
