Week 2, Day 3

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

Tomorrow, we’ll have another guest speaker at 10am PST, Dr. Eve Valera. Also tomorrow, we will have a Squarespace Tutorial at 1pm PST.

On Friday, we’ll have our Social Hour at 10am PST, and our second guest speaker this week, Kam Gardner, at 12:30pm PST.
