Banish Impostor Syndrome for Good! Strategies and Tactics for Dealing with Self-Doubt
Preview Available
Let’s face it- impostor syndrome is terrible. It makes us believe that we unworthy and frauds. It tricks us into minimizing our contributions and value. More critically, impostor syndrome insidiously robs us of future prosperity as it convinces us we do not belong and should not pursue opportunities to advance our career, launch and facilitate exciting new collaborations, and be more innovative, inventive, agile, and novel in our problem-solving. Consequently, impostor syndrome negatively impacts not only our own potential, but that of the greater STEM community. Let’s knock this out of our brains for good! In this webinar, you will learn strategies and tactics to rid this from your brilliant mind and how to navigate it and stamp it out if it creeps into every day scenarios. Banish Impostor Syndrome for good!

Virtual Interviewing and the Job Talk
Preview Available
In this webinar, we discuss leveraging virtual platforms to execute an interviewing plan that will help you land that dream job. We look at what you should be doing before, during, and after the interview, how to adjust different elements of a virtual experience (such as light and sound), and how to look professional on camera. We also go over how to deliver an oral presentation—such as a job talk or a colloquium—using virtual methods to indicate your knowledge, expertise, enthusiasm, and collaborative nature.
This webinar was presented by Alaina Levine, President of Quantum Success Solutions.
This webinar was presented in conjunction with the August, 2020 Journal of Materials Research Focus Issue on this topic, and it featured four talks from experts in the field, followed by live Q&A sessions with each.
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a disruptive technology, not only because it enables the production of components with complex geometries, but also because it provides unique opportunities for microstructure control and materials design. In contrast to conventional manufacturing technologies,such as casting, forging, and hot rolling, AM offers additional degrees of freedom to “architect” the material microstructure across many length scales. Owing to this unique capability, both beam-based processes—such as power bed fusion (PBF) and directed energy deposition (DED)—as well as non-beam-based processes—such as cold spray, additive friction stir deposition, and ultrasonic additive manufacturing—unlock new opportunities for tailoring mechanical and functional properties of metals and alloys.
In this webinar and associated JMR Focus Issue, we highlight research on the microstructures resulting from different AM processes and their impact on the mechanical and physical properties of metallic materials. The issue includes both experimental and modeling works focusing on different materials systems, such as steels, aluminum-,titanium-, and nickel-base alloys, refractory metals, and high entropy alloys. We have also captured a portion of the broad spectrum of research in AM, from finite element simulations and topology optimization to microstructure characterization and mechanical testing. Many new tools, such as machine learning methods, have become powerful for AM.

Career Planning in a Crisis: How to Move Your Career Forward
Preview Available
Crises can happen at any time to anyone, and can affect many aspects of your career advancement plans. Crises can also derail our goals and projects, cost us precious resources to do our jobs, and can even lead to job loss. To help mitigate how a crisis affects your professional goals, it’s a good idea to build and execute a strong, customized crisis management plan for your career. This plan can help you identify and potentially mitigate points of risk that could negatively impact your career in a crisis. It will create a cushion, so that when there is a crisis, you have a logical strategy already in place that will help you get back to where you need to be. In this webinar, we will address how to develop this “insurance” plan, using fundamentals from the field of crisis management itself. You will emerge with tools, tactics, and the ability to construct, test, fine tune, and implement your own career crisis management plan.
Writing Concrete Abstracts and Titles: A Webinar and Workshop Series
Preview Available
Anyone writing or editing abstracts knows that there is an art to conveying complex ideas and data in an approachable way. Whether it's for a scientific paper, an oral presentation, or the front page of your lab's website, the process of writing and rewriting an abstract and developing concise title takes experience and practice. Join MRS and a panel of editors from symposium organizers and scientific journals for a webinar on the abstract writing process.
After the webinar, attendees were encouraged to sign up for a one-on-one session with editors and authors to receive specific feedback on your abstract and title. Here they learned more ways to make their work approachable to broad audiences and methods for making their research stand out.
Whether you're new to abstract writing, or already mentoring students on their own, this webinar and workshop series provide examples and tips you can use in your own writing or editing responsibilities.

Frontiers of Optical Fibers
Preview Available
Co-Presented by MRS, the Materials Research Society and ACerS, the American Ceramic Society
Optical fibers, a major contributor to the multi-trillion dollar annual global economic impact of light, enable all modern means of communication and e-commerce, from streaming videos to online shopping. They are also used in medical endoscopes to peer into the body, and to bring high-power laser light to machining instruments central to the manufacturing of practically all modern electronics, automobiles, and planes.
However, some fibers are approaching limits in their ability to enable quickly developing technologies. The ever-present demand for enhanced performance has brought about a renaissance in fiber optics materials, their methods of fabrication, and the range of properties one can achieve.
This webinar will feature four talks from noted experts covering the past, present, and future of optical fibers and the materials from which they are made. Topics include material advances in fibers for telecommunications, specialty fibers for high energy laser systems, crystalline semiconductor fibers for novel in-fiber optoelectronics, and soft glass fibers for medical and sensing applications.
A Q&A session will be held with each speaker at the conclusion of their talks.
