Announcement of WinGS Career talk: "Science and suitcases: a personal view of a 4-continent scientific career"

On Tuesday, November 6th, at the Women Researchers Support OfficeSG-FResHU SupportA public seminar will be held on campus, presented by researcher Jennifer Mortimer, who was invited by [organization name].
 
The invited speaker obtained her doctorate from the University of Cambridge in the UK, completed a postdoctoral researcher position (her bachelor's degree was earned in Australia), and then moved to RIKEN in Japan. She is currently working as a group leader at the Japan Bioenergy Institute (JBEI), under the U.S. Department of Energy. Based on her experience building a career on a global stage, she will give a lecture on career development for young female researchers. This lecture will be inspiring not only for women, but also for students and young researchers who aspire to conduct research on a global stage.
Furthermore, the invited speaker is a group leader in plant systems biology at JBEI, and also serves as the deputy director of the raw materials division at JBEI, leading cutting-edge research in plant physiology and plant biomass utilization. In this lecture, he will discuss the latest advancements in plant-microbe biological analysis.
