This year, FECS was active at the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) meeting, sharing information to early-career scientists and recruiting new members. With our bright FECS t-shirts, many people learned about the forum.
Our largest activity was sponsoring a panel session on applying to postdoc and faculty positions. The six panelists, consisting of department heads and deans, shared insights from their many years being involved in hiring. Here are a few quotes from the session:
Overall, involvement at the meeting exposed FECS to many people, and our activities shared very useful information that will help early career scientists.
