Upcoming ISRHML Webinar- advice for trainees interested in an academic career

I was hoping you could pass along the details of this upcoming webinar. I am working with the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation (ISRHML) trainee group, and we are hosting a webinar focused on careers in academia and advice for trainees.

Any non-ISRHML member can watch the webinar live but only trainee/full members will be able to access the later recording of the webinar.
