Join us for one of the upcoming Fall 2023 CAN Research Events [pdf]. This semester's events include the CAN Trainee CV Panel and Workshop, visiting scientist Dr. Susan White, community engagement events, and more!
Improve your academic resumé! Learn from three researchers, followed by a CV workshop for real-time feedback! Coffee and cookies provided. All people interested in improving their CV are welcome. See flier for details!
Dr. Susan White, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Doddridge Saxon Chair, Director, and Center for Youth Development and Intervention, is hosting a virtual science talk about her research on neurodevelopmental disorders and developmental psychopathology. Tune in virtually! See fier for details.
Starting in September 2023, we will begin hosting 3 weekly science meetings each month for CAN Research Center members (faculty, trainees, undergraduates, staff). The goal of these meetings are share and update each other on research progress -- including new findings, new or upcoming grant submissions, and a space to discuss research obstacles and successes. We anticipate each virtual meeting to be ~30 minutes of presentation and ~30 minutes for discussion.
All meetings are held virtually from 8-9am. Email can@sc.edu to learn more and attend!
