2-187 - Interdisciplinary Developmental Science Data Blitz and Career Panel

Session Type: Professional Development Session

Integrative Statement

This is an inaugural event, sponsored by the SRCD Interdisciplinary Committee and the newly formed Early Career Interdisciplinary Scholars Program, designed to bring together early career and mid-career/senior researchers interested in studying developmental science from interdisciplinary perspectives. The event will include brief data blitz presentations from the five 2019 SRCD Early Career Interdisciplinary Scholars who are conducting innovative research on child development from within the disciplines of pediatrics, communication science, social work, public policy, and nursing. Following the data blitz, a distinguished panel of interdisciplinary researchers will discuss the challenges and rewards of conducting interdisciplinary research, provide perspectives on how interdisciplinary research within SRCD has changed over past years, and explore goals for interdisciplinary progress moving forward. The event will conclude with a question and answer session designed to facilitate conversation among panel members, Early Career Scholars, and audience members. This event is open to all conference participants.
