INFO: Student sessions at APA convention in Boston

Please forward this to any interested students or postdocs attending the APA convention:

In this year's Division 20 Graduate Student Conversation Hour at APA in Boston, we have the pleasure to welcome two very esteemed colleagues to give presentations on career development options and on funding pre- and post- doctoral work, Dr. Margie Lachman and Dr. Jonathan King.

Dr. Margie Lachman is the current Chair of the Psychology Department, and Director of the Lifespan Developmental Psychology Lab at Brandeis University. She is co-director of the NIH-funded pre- and postdoctoral training program, Cognitive Aging in a Social Context.

Dr. Jonathan King is the Program Director of the Cognitive Aging portfolio in the Behavioral and Social Research program at NIA. He also previously led review meetings of pre- and post-doctoral fellowship applications at the Center for Scientific Review at NIH. In his presentation, he will be discussing the application process for F31 (predoctoral), F32 (postdoctoral), and early career K awards. He will also provide tips on how to craft winning applications. Students are recommended to bring their mentors along as many parts of fellowship/career award applications depend on mentor or sponsor input.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the Graduate Student Conversation Hour and the Social Hour!

CONFERENCES: Directions for Saturday night Social Event

For those of you attending the Division 20/12-2 social event this coming Saturday night at APA, information about the restaurant is below. If you will be at the Division 20 Social Hour at the Marriott, it is a very short walk to the restaurant (basically you make a right out of the hotel onto Huntington Ave., follow Huntington several blocks -- past Copley Square where the street name changes to St James -- and make a left on Clarendon).

See you in Boston soon!

Hi Everyone. Below is the link to the map for the Skipjack's restaurant where our 12II/20 dinner will be Saturday night -- 199 Clarendon. Since people will be coming from different locations, I thought I'd just send this link and you can put in your own hotel's address or the convention center to get directions (though if you're at the convention center you will probably want to take the APA shuttle to one of the Copley Square hotels before venturing out to find it).
