Does this sound like you?
→ I have solid training and put in the effort, but I haven’t been able to establish research independence. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Why am I not successful at this yet?
→ I’ve considered starting a new project, but I get anxious. What if I share my ideas with others and they respond poorly or even steal them? Will I regret continuing to play it safe?
→ I always focused on building my technical skills and mastering my scientific expertise, and now I spend so much time managing people and projects in my lab. How can I feel better prepared?
→Job strain from handling complex tasks, cultural differences, and multidisciplinary teams is a common challenge . Effective communication drives successful teamwork and optimal solutions. Where do I even start to learn about how to do this better?
→ I’ve been doing this for a LONG time, and I have several grants and a good track record, but I feel like I’m in a rut! I am buried in administrative and other demands and don’t even remember the last time I had time to think about brainstorming or building toward something bigger - like a large grant or a center. Burnout and stress impede creativity and limit impact at work. How do I find the time?…
Then, you’ve found the right course for you.…

I didn't create the Research Career Accelerator to be a huge, bulky course that will gather digital dust in your inbox—instead, it was specifically created to give actionable, to-the-point info so you can get through it in a short 1-2 hour block each month. The goal is to get you through the Research Career Accelerator system so we can start getting you some results!
Building a robust program of research is something other than a weekend event. This program mirrors the reality of scholarly progress — it's a journey, not a sprint. It takes testing, tweaking, consistency, and something you'll work on for your research career. That’s why I’ve designed the Research Career Accelerator to be a monthly program, instead of a one-time course.
By breaking the content down into smaller, manageable chunks, you can easily fit it into your busy schedule. Each month, you'll receive new lessons and resources that will guide you through the process of building a successful research career. You can take your time with each lesson and go back to review them as needed.
The Research Career Accelerator is not just about acquiring knowledge, but also
Why wait longer to achieve the SUCCESS YOU DESERVE?!
