Posted on by

Please join the MSK Library and JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments) for the first in our series of special internal events Advancing Authorship, on Thursday, March 29!

Hear from MSK colleagues about their experiences translating work into video articles published with JoVE, and how you can too!

To learn more about the event and speakers, see the flyer here.

This event is geared toward early career scientists in particular, but we’re confident any MSK researcher interested in learning about this newer mode of publication, will gain something from this event. Please join us Thursday, March 29 at 1:00 pm in M-107!
