Following up on last year's webinar - What it takes to succeed as a neuroscientist in Africa, this panel discussion aims at creating a guide to the skill set needed to be a neuroscientist in the African continent. Chairs and panelists will illustrate different areas of expertise as part of the "Toolkit" by matching them to real life experience and solutions that they had to find while building their career as scientists.
This webinar is part of the ALBA webinar series on diversity region-specific issues, proudly supported by the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), and the second episode of the Africa series. It is organised in partnership with World Women in Neuroscience and SANS (Southern African Neuroscience Society.
