How do you stay up to date on new trends and breakthroughs in your field?

"I am an active member in the ASCLS and have been for over ten years. I subscribe to the ASCLS Journal and listen to their podcast on my commute to work when a new one comes out. Last year, I attended their national conference, and I love the ability to network with others in our field across the country and region."

"We need to stay educated and on top of new trends to keep advancing the field and not lag behind the competition. I am connected through the regional chapter of the ASHG and attend quarterly meetings to talk about breakthroughs in genetics research and scientific applications."

Talk openly about any groups or societies you belong to, any journals/publications/websites you read, and any continuing education opportunities you take advantage of. No matter how you answer, show your interviewer that you take furthering yourself and your career knowledge seriously.
