Organizer
It is important to remember that rejection is not a comment on your potential or how smart you are. You would not have got this far otherwise. Join Dr. Peter Szatmari from Toronto’s Cundill Centre for Child and Youth Depression at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) as he reflects on how to learn from “failure”. Learn how to cope with rejected grants and papers, or promotions, and proposals. Draw some lessons from his vast experience with rejection. Dr. Szatmari will also put papers and grants into perspective with respect to the ‘success’ of an academic career.
