WiNS is reviving our mentored lightning talk program for the WiNS Satellite at NetSci 2026 in Boston. Graduate students and early-career researchers will be paired with more senior mentors whose research interests align with their own. Mentees will work with their assigned mentor to prepare a short talk to be delivered during the WiNS Satellite. The goals of this program are to support trainees in developing professional networks and to cultivate effective presentation skills for multidisciplinary audiences.
We invite graduate students and early-career researchers of all genders to apply here. Everyone is welcome to join the satellite!
