“Decoding Life”
“Decoding Life” is a series featured on the GSA blog Genes to Genomes. Members of the Career Development Subcommittee interview geneticists with diverse career paths, tracing the many directions possible after research training. The series is a valuable resource for early career scientists who want to explore the vast career possibilities that an education in genetics offers.

Early Career Scientist Leadership Program
Students, postdocs, and other early career scientists (ECS) are the future of the GSA community. To strengthen their voice in the Society, GSA developed the Early Career Scientist leadership and professional development program. This program provides rich opportunities for early career scientists to develop skills, gain leadership experience, network, and produce concrete deliverables that demonstrate their abilities.
GENETICS Peer Review Training Program
Peer-reviewers are vital to science, yet early career scientists in our field rarely receive formal training in how to be a good reviewer. GSA and GENETICS are addressing this gap with a program that gives early career members real-world peer review experience. Participants will receive online training, advice from GENETICS editors, and will become reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the journal.
