You told us connection matters, and at #Dros27, great conversations are just steps away (10 minutes max from the venue). Grab a meal at @RdgTerminalMkt, stroll to Philadelphia City Hall, or connect over coffee at local favorites. Philly locals—where should attendees go next?

As #NPAW comes to a close, we reflect on what the role of postdoc means for our community. Postdoctoral researchers occupy a unique position in science—they are no longer students, but rather early career scientists growing into independent investigators. 1/4🧵

It’s also a defining time professionally. Postdocs are refining the research questions and professional goals they’ll pursue as their careers evolve and developing leadership skills to eventually lead their own labs, teach, and mentor the next generation. 3/4🧵
