SUMMARY:Limnoseries Lecture April 2026
DESCRIPTION:The next GLEON GSA Limnoseries will take place on April 13 at 15:00 UTC (50min duration): \nWhen Science Becomes a Skillset: Building a Career from Ecology\, Theory\, and Data\nPresented by Diego Pujoni\nWhat may happen when a scientist steps outside academia and begins working with private companies? In this talk I intend to show how scientific training has become a powerful toolkit for solving problems. Skills such as design of experiments\, inference\, interpretation\, and communication are essential in any field. In addition\, everywhere\, we will have to deal with shorter deadlines\, different expectations\, and the constant need to balance ethics with real-world constraints without compromising rigor. Ultimately\, the talk argues that thinking like a scientist is a competitive advantage wherever decisions depend on evidence. I hope to share nice tips to help young scientists shape their own career\, expanding opportunities beyond a single track. \nIf you would like to attend this lecture or receive the recording\, please fill in the registration form. \nPlease sign up for this lecture by April 10. The Zoom link required for the lecture will be sent to those who have registered. \nWe hope to see you there! \nGLEON Student Association (GSA) workshop sub-committee
