Our ability to solve increasingly complex problems depends on continued specialization of research expertise and more effective interaction and integration of scientists on a single research project.
Join us to hear Dr. L. Michelle Bennett explain the characteristics, processes, and dynamics that contribute to a successful multi-faceted research team and provide guidance and training on how team science should be initiated, conducted, and evaluated to conquer scientific challenges. Participants will also learn to develop strategies to prevent, reduce, and mitigate conflict among researchers when engaging in team science.
About the Speaker:
Dr. L. Michelle Bennett, Ph.D., is currently serving as Senior Vice President of Roger Schwarz and Associates where she focuses on helping individuals, teams and organizations create the capacity for more productive partnerships and innovation in team science.
