QIS PALS
Discover the unique opportunity to participate in Postdoc Academy Learning Sessions (PALS), a synchronous course (date TBD) facilitated by HQAN for QIS-focused communities. These facilitated learning communities connect course content directly to the needs of postdocs in the QIS field. However, please note that PALS are only available with enough interest from HQAN-affiliated postdocs and postdocs from other QLCI centers. So, if you want to engage in meaningful discussions and connect with your HQAN peers, don't hesitate to talk to your advisor or HQAN Co-PI today!
