Welcome!

Info

Here are some tips to get started with the PULSE Transferrable Skills Training Program.

Building Scientific Influence

Building a public-facing presence with influence can take time. If social media is a tool you are interested in to make contacts at conferences, communicate your research highlights, or follow scientific leaders, we suggest creating a Bluesky account1.

Don’t forget to follow SciLifeLab!

Collaborate and Share

We have set up a Zotero library for PULSE postdocs to collect citations during the Transferrable Skills Training Program.

We have added a few references and interesting articles on career assessment, ECR in Sweden, and the culture of science. Request an invitation to add articles you have found interesting for career development and leadership.
