Postdoctoral life can be both incredibly exciting and deeply isolating—especially when positions are short-term and researchers are scattered across labs and departments. I’ve felt this myself, and that’s motivated me to collaborate with fellow postdocs and grad students to launch the Grow & Tell seminar series, which brings together plant biologists across campus to share their work and foster collaboration. I believe postdocs can only find their footing in an institution like Stanford by building relationships, and I hope to continue creating opportunities that help them form meaningful connections during their time here.
