Skill-Up: Failing Forward – Setbacks, Pivots and What Comes Next?
Every successful clinician-scientist has a story about the grant that didn’t get funded, the experiment that went nowhere, or the moment they seriously considered walking away. In this webinar, we hear those stories – and, more importantly, what happened next. Our speakers share the setbacks that shaped their careers and the strategies that helped them move forward, so you can face your own challenges with a clearer head and a better plan.
