Developing Our Future Leaders: Bringing Your Best Self to the Table
Organizer: Lauren Brewer, General Mills, Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.
This workshop is focused on developing the leaders of the future. It is important to have strong technical representatives in cereal disciplines. Our technical representatives need to have strong science, excellent communication skills, and the confidence to be bold. By providing applicable information that students will not pick up from course work, afforded by professional (academic and industrial) AACCI experts, we hope this symposium will act to provide knowledge on soft skills that will complement their technical expertise. This symposium will cultivate experience in personal development, and highlight the importance of volunteerism, culture affinity, enhanced public speaking ability, personal organization, a strong professional network, team mentality, and business acumen.

Publishing Cereal Science
Organizer: Les Copeland, University of Sydney, Australia
Publishing the findings of research is an essential professional skill for researchers, yet many seem to find this a difficult aspect of their work. The transformations in how we manage, access and communicate information in the digital age, has brought new challenges for scientific publishing. This session will feature presentations on the art of writing scientific papers, how to enhance the prospects of success in the peer-review system, and how to review papers. Presenters will include Les Copeland, Editor-in-Chief of Cereal Chemistry, Jon Faubion, Senior Editor of Cereal Chemistry and highly cited cereal scientist Bruce Hamaker. The presenters will be joined by members of the Cereal Chemistry Editorial Board on a Q &A panel. The session is targeted primarily to early career professionals and students, but is likely to have interest to a much wider audience of cereal chemists.
