Week 2, Day 2

Happy second week! We have a lighter curriculum this week and have standardized the meeting schedule as much as possible. Please let us know if you have any more feedback going forward!

We’re excited to welcome two more expert guest speakers this week! We’ll also be watching a movie and having a discussion on it. You’ll continue to work on your projects and, for science writers, we’ll have a workshop on working with Squarespace as you start to look towards building your webpages at the end of the week.

Meetings (Zoom link in Slack)

We’ll start our day with our movie discussion on League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis at 10 am PST.

Also today, please finish your newsletter synopsis drafts by the end of the day. More on this below.

Tomorrow we will have our check-ins with our subcohorts at 10 am PST and you should be meeting with your program manager at some point this week.
