Individualized specific aim feedback from the country's top neurosurgeon-scientists. Priceless.

Valuable insights from Bill Mack and Emad Eskandar on managing research finances and NIH funding mechanisms with great questions from the K12 participants.

Great panel discussions to cap off the day on "Chairs' Perspective," "To K or not to K," and "Transitioning to Independence."

A stimulating morning with insights into the arc of a neurosurgeon-scientist career, the importance of statistics and diversifying research teams, and the significance of neuroethics in research.
