Our training with COMPASS

On July 11, we joined the UK CARES and other scientists at the University of Kentucky to work on our communication skills with our COMPASS workshop facilitator, Heather Maddix.  We learned how to create a message box and give 3 min elevator speeches by practices and providing each other with constructive feedback. 

Discussions this week with the SURF participants involved learning about detecting substances like cannabinoids in serum and urine from Erin Crum.  The SURES participants learned about graduate school and the study of kidney physiology from the Dean of the Graduate School, Brian Jackson.
