ATS PhD and Basic and Translational Scientist Working Group (PBTS) Connect is meant to be a dynamic, high-engagement virtual gathering. Rather than a standard lecture, the structure prioritizes peer-to-peer connection and the cross-pollination of ideas among sleep research professionals.
By balancing structured breakout sessions with open-floor discussions, the event transitions from individual introductions to collective problem-solving. The primary goal is to foster a supportive community environment where attendees can share resources, troubleshoot research or clinical hurdles, and build professional relationships in a streamlined, 60-minute format.
