They also hope to host a speakers series in the future to discuss topics such as professional development and career perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>The UNMC PDA is open to all postdocs on campus, whether they are in academics or on the clinical side, Dr. Svechkarev said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our primary mission is to be inclusive and bring this unique group together,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meetings are held the first Thursday of every month from noon to 1 p.m. in the Durham Research Center. The April 6 meeting will be in Room 4003. Those who do not have access to the DRC elevators are asked to contact the association prior to the meeting and then wait in the lobby of the research tower where someone from the group will come escort them to the fourth floor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The group will look for volunteer opportunities, plan social
