As we move forward with initiatives and programs to improve the career paths of laboratory research scientists at the MGH, we welcome your participation and suggestions. This is your office and your participation is crucial to fulfilling the mission of the ORCD. My vision for the ORCD comes from extensive discussions within the research community combined with a deep commitment to fostering the career development of young scientists and I invite you to explore our site as we begin our endeavors. I also encourage you to join our mailing list, so that we may better serve our members of the research community.
