Gundula Bosch PhD, Program Director and Assistant Scientist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health will introduce and describe the R3 (Rigor, Reproducibility, Responsibility) Graduate Science Initiative that she has been involved in developing. The mission of the R3 program is to provide graduate students with critical thinking and creative problem solving skills, and to enhance students' capacities to communicate, view science in a broader context and through the lens of social responsibility. We will learn about the origins, motivations, challenges and progress in launching this unique educational model. Webinar begins at 11am EST - Zoom link to follow via listserv.
