<div style="font-family:"arial narrow",sans-serif">Hope things are well at your end! I am writing to share an upcoming Career Development Workshop hosted by the TRANSCEND program and the UCR Stem Cell Center titled:</div>
<div style="font-family:"arial narrow",sans-serif">
<p><strong>From Bench to Byline: Building a Career in Medical Communications</strong><br>
<strong>Speaker:</strong> Clare Miller, Ph.D., Medical Writer, Havas Health Network<br>
<strong>Date:</strong> February 24th, 2026<br>
<strong>Time:</strong> 10:00–11:00 AM<br>
<strong>Location:</strong> Genomics Auditorium 1102A</p>
<p>This workshop will provide valuable insights into medical writing and communications as a career path for PhD-trained scientists, including an overview of the field, career pathways, and practical advice for transitioning from academia to industry. I would
greatly appreciate it if you could please share this opportunity with the graduate students in the Neuroscience program and encourage their attendance.</p>
<p>Please feel free to distribute the attached flyer to your students.</p>
