The student and post-doc page was developed as part of the strategic planning on moving the Society forward. Communication and education were major parts of this planning. This corner was conceived, designed and developed by student members with the help of the Website committee and therefore is specifically designed to promote the student involvement in the Society. The website is an up-to-date forum for communication and information exchange for Teratology Society events, educational materials, career opportunities as they relate to graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
Why Should Students Get Involved? It is imperative that health science research is promoted among young students with fresh ideas, a motivated spirit, and a drive to bring this field into deeper cutting-edge waters. Health science, more specifically, teratology, is the study of birth defects; a field that is rapidly evolving and is exceptionally multidisciplinary. The Teratology Society provides an excellent medium for students and investigators to network together, ask questions, develop critical thinking, and broaden research skills in this fascinating field. Participating in the Teratology Society, giving a talk or presenting a poster, going to lectures, and inquiring about other investigators research provides an excellent basis to understanding what it takes to make a mark in the field. Being engaged, not only develops research skills, but also contributes to personal growth with the goal of becoming a well-rounded individual, skillfully and socially.
