The Revise and Resubmit Process when Publishing in Peer-Reviewed Journals
Presented by Dr. Andres De Los Reyes, Ph.D.

Description
''Think about some of the greatest, most thought-provoking journal articles you ever read. Chances are that each of them went through extensive revisions not only during the drafting process, but also throughout the review process, on the path to the journal editor eventually accepting it for publication. You probably know that successful researchers have to accept, cope with, and overcome rejection on the path to publishing their work. The same can be said for those perennial circumstances, when editors and/or peer reviewers tell an author, “I think you are on the right track, but your paper still needs some work.” That’s the revise and resubmit process in a nutshell, and this workshop focuses on delivering concrete strategies for navigating this process.''

Seeking Out Career Paths in Philanthropy and Consulting
Presented by Dr. Saajan Bhakta, Ph.D. and Dr. Amelia Aldao, Ph.D.

Description
''Many of us are curious about whether career path options exist other than the usual paths discussed within our own programs (e.g., policy, practice, research, teaching), and how viable pursuing these paths might be. Wouldn’t it be great if you had access to a workshop with strategies on how to “break into” areas of work that involve intersecting with philanthropic organizations and consulting firms? For those of you who answered “yes” to this question, we have a workshop for that at Forum 2021, led by two experts in the philanthropic and consultation spaces! Following the workshop, we will have options for small-group consultations with workshop leaders so that you have opportunities to get answers to questions that are specific to your goals, interests, and needs.''

Addressing Pipeline Issues in the Mental Health Workforce
Presented by Dr. Riana Anderson, Ph.D. and Dr. Melanie Wilcox, Ph.D.

Description
''One of the most intransigent issues facing work in mental health involves key barriers to building a research, policy, and practice workforce that is as diverse as the population surrounding that workforce. These barriers often take the form of “leaks” in the pipeline from formative training stages (e.g., high school, undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral training) all the way to later professional career stages (e.g., post-doctoral, early- and mid-career positions). What strategies are available to address these “pipeline leaks,” and how can we get involved in this important work? This workshop will address your burning questions regarding how you can get involved in addressing pipeline leaks in the mental health workforce.''

Networking in the Context of Social Distancing
'''Presented by Dr. Lucina Uddin, Ph.D. and Dr. Jessica Schleider, Ph.D.'''

Description
''Are you tired of zoom? Don’t you wish you had a chance to connect with people again, maybe even in tightly packed, intimate quarters like―gasp!―social hours at conferences? Well, we may still have to wait a while for that, but your career pursuits probably can’t wait for that in-person networking engine to rev up again. We heard the voices of our Forum 2020 attendees, and they were clamoring for advice on how to network when it’s just you and your mobile devices. A couple of social media superstars in mental health and neuroscience research are here to help with strategies on how to network when social distancing is the norm.''

Fusing Writing Mechanics and Storytelling Principles in Academic Writing[edit | edit source]
Presented by Dr. Andres De Los Reyes, Ph.D.

Description
''In a Forum 2019 workshop, we discussed several “active ingredients” of writing: core features of narrative structure that help us produce clear, concise academic papers. These ingredients factor prominently in each of our “recipes,” the papers we write. That said, we also know that all recipes include both active ingredients and “other” ingredients that are nonetheless crucial in preparation of the final product. In academic writing, these take the form of writing mechanics like use of transitions, understanding sentence structure, and making decisions surrounding whether to use technical versus non-technical language to make important points. During this workshop, we will immerse ourselves in these mechanics, supported by examples of their use in academic work.''

Racism is the Default
Presented by Dr. Eleanor K. Seaton, Ph.D.

Description[edit | edit source]
''Racism is multidimensional with individual and institutional levels. Despite the ubiquity of the term, there is no single solution that will combat and eliminate racism from our society. However, “un-doing” racism and becoming antiracist starts with unpacking and understanding the essence of racism, who is racist, how racism impacts the broader society historically and currently, and what it means to be antiracist. Dr. Eleanor Seaton will facilitate this workshop on understanding the elemental aspects of racism and antiracism, with suggestions for how to get involved with the movement to end racism and become antiracist.''

Previously Rejected Manuscripts for Publication
Presented by Dr. Andres De Los Reyes, Ph.D.

Description
''The acclaimed boxing trainer Whitey Bimstein famously said, “Show me an undefeated fighter and I’ll show [you] a guy who’s never fought anybody.” If you were to ask a room of 100 successful researchers if they regularly get their manuscripts rejected, and 95 researchers raised their hands, know that the other 5 lied to you. Rejection happens to everyone and it happens throughout one’s career. The experience is also normatively disorienting. When you get a manuscript rejected for publication, doesn’t it feel like you fell down unexpectedly, and you don’t quite know how to get back up? If you’re new to publishing and you regularly find yourself on the ground, you’re probably doing it right, but you could also use some advice on what to do next. This workshop will cover strategies for learning from rejection, revising your manuscript, and carving a new path toward publication.''

Description
''As a trainee, working with a mentor is like learning from a “research caregiver.” Unlike the caregiving environments you were used to before your research training, you actually get to choose the caregiver(s) who raise you! Here’s the thing though: Mentors and trainees create “family environments” like any other family unit. That is, they can create environments that range from supportive and nurturing, to the opposite of those two things! Are you running into “family issues” surrounding work with one or more of your mentors? We assembled a team of experienced colleagues who can help you with strategies for navigating these very kinds of relationships.''
