Good Morning America buried a Time Capsule which chronicled what he de-cided in those ten seconds and what grew out of it in the years that followed. At this event, he will lead a discussion about the ways in which other young people can use what they have learned as students to impact the diverse world around them...and the ways in which those efforts can generate ripple effects around the globe.

Pioneering Postdoc ProgramsYour postdoctoral training period is the ideal time to hone your skills and get needed experience that will make you the perfect candidate for the career of your choice.

There are many unique postdoc programs that train fellows in a variety of indemand skills and these training opportunities are often shorter and more structured than the traditional academic postdoc. Theyteachaspecificskillsetandcanbeafast track to a “real job” afterwards. Each month in the TIBBS Times we’ll highlight a different fellowship opportunity.

North Carolina Biotechnology Center Industry Fellowship Program

The NCBC Industrial Fellowship Pro-gram provides recent Ph.D. graduates with an opportunity to gain industry ex-perience in local biotech startup compa-nies. The program is for recent doctoral graduates and postdoctoral fellows who would like to transition from academia to permanent employment in the state’s life sciences industry.
