During this talk, we will discuss why the FASRC Cannon cluster is so powerful, the wide array of tools that can be used and how our research can take advantage of this useful resource.

Linked to the II Postdoc Seminar in Innovative Teaching, different talks will be held at RCC concerning strategies for predocs and postdocs to be successful in the job market. The aim of this initiative is to show the best ways to improve your skill set and to develop ideas and mechanisms in both Spain and US.
