Are you feeling stressed by trying to juggle the demands of work, your career, and personal life?? Do you feel like you just want a quiet place to chill once in a while??  If so, you are not alone!! Becoming a science professional is a challenge on many fronts, and in recognition of this challenge, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is launching a new workshop series, “Postdoc Essentials”. These informal gatherings of postdocs and faculty will be opportunities to share our stories, and to hear how other scientists have faced these challenges.
