Failing Isn't Failure
Tuesday July 28, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm CDT
Comal
Collaborative Notes
We hide our failings. Our resumes and CVs sing of our accomplishments, but not the twisted path we took to get there. In this session, three community leaders will proudly tell tales of their professional failings: the impact they had, what their response was, and with hindsight, what it might have been in a kinder universe. This session is offered in support of every researcher with imposter syndrome, every scientist who didn't get an experiment to work, and everyone who had a dream job turned nightmare. Significant audience participation is expected.

Audience
Early career researchers who want to learn how others have failed and pivoted; experienced professionals who want to know they aren't alone; everyone in between
