The ACS Webinar series is doing a session on alternative careers for PhD students (and they are using the same name as my blog – coincidence or flattery?) on Oct 4th, 2011. Remember that if you can’t make that date, the webinars are archived and you can watch them later!
These webinars are always informative and often fun!
