What Attendees Are Saying
I cannot believe how much this BrightFocus Fast Track has shaped my knowledge, my career and me personally. I also made friends forever. Not only I am so much more prepared and more confident to write grants but also I gained skills to communicate and to share my science. This workshop is the greatest idea to help students build their careers more successfully. Every scientist should go through a workshop like this one. Thank you for the opportunity!
