Next week marks 2021 National Postdoc Appreciation Week. The UW–Madison Postdoctoral Association is hosting the 6th Annual UW-Madison Postdoctoral Research Symposium on Friday, Sept. 24. James Keck, PhD, SMPH associate dean for basic research training, shared his thoughts this week with SMPH postdoctoral scholars: “The more than 300 postdocs who train and carry out critical research in SMPH labs form the backbone to our school’s research missions. Your contributions are appreciated every day but I want to especially acknowledge your impact on our school as we celebrate National Postdoc Appreciation Week!”
