Following upon the success of the ELSO 2005
Open Floor Debate
on careers outside academia and the interest ELSO participants showed in the table on this topic at the Career Mentoring Lunches,
the Career Development Committee has created a session devoted to this subject. In these sessions, former researchers describe what
their current jobs entail and the career routes they took to get to where they are today.
