Mariam Kayle, assistant professor, has completed the Duke LEADER program, which Dean Marion E. Broome sponsors. This interactive three-part workshop is designed for junior faculty who are leading a research group. It provides insight into leadership and team building as well as direction on how to develop and manage a scientific laboratory or research program, how to improve productivity, and how to harness creativity and innovation. It provides tools to use in navigating conflict with confidence and is a unique opportunity to work with a diverse and multidisciplinary group of faculty and to network with other researchers from across the university.
