Description: Representing the spectrum of science disciplines, SACNAS professionals gather with student attendees to engage in informal round-table discussions about careers in genetics (human/animal genetics, genetic education/counseling, genomics, plant genetics...). The personal connections made at CWS set the stage for ongoing mentorship & support throughout the conference.
