Welcome to the Pittcon Community Blog for new college faculty members who are trying to initiate a competitive research program. Discussion topics could include trying to balance teaching, mentoring, recruiting and collaborating while writing for funding grants and managing a new research program.

Pittcon Community Blogs are an extension of the conferee networking sessions introduced at Pittcon 2007. They are intended for ongoing scientific discussion on specific topics and are open to all interested participants.

Introduction to Open Forum

One of the new events at Pittcon 2007 was the Conferee Networking Sessions which introduced the Pittcon community to an interactive forum for discussions of issues surrounding specific topics.  A session titled “New Faculty Initiating Competitive Research Programs” was moderated by Christy Haynes from the University of Minnesota and Paul Bohn from Notre Dame University.  The session was well attended and the discussions raised many questions about all aspects of teaching and performing research in a university/college atmosphere.  Because participants wanted to continue the discussion, we have introduced this Pittcon open forum website to encourage you to post your questions and comments regarding specific areas of teaching and doing research in an educational institution that the Analytical and Pittcon communities can answer or discuss further.
