Since 2009, the National Postdoc Association has sponsored National Postdoc Appreciation Week to recognize and raise awareness of the significant contributions that postdocs make to scientific research and discovery.

This year, Gladstone celebrated its postdoc community with a week of teambuilding and professional development activities.

Improv for communication uses techniques drawn from improvisational theater to develop and improve communication skills, creative problem solving, and supportive teamwork abilities that can be beneficial for collaboration, mentoring, day-to-day conversations, presentations, or job searches.

This interactive workshop was led by UCSF Improv.
