The Early Career webinar series aims to explore a broad spectrum of scientific topics in SCI research and clinical practice by engaging early career researchers and/or clinicians. Early Career Researchers and Clinicians are invited to showcase research and/or clinical expertise.
A great opportunity for early careers researchers in spinal cord injury to share their research. This is open internationally (you just need to be able to present during business hours in the USA).
