FIT’NG Together

FIT’NG is pleased to announce that the society will be hosting a series of monthly online events starting in November 2021 to facilitate scientific exchange, support trainees and build the FIT’NG community.

FIT’NG Together events are organized by the Trainee Committee. Each event in this series will consist of 60 minutes of live presentations and Q&A periods.
The first few FIT’NG Together sessions will be offered to anyone for FREE but will become a FIT’NG member benefit ongoing. Recordings of all the Practicals will be available to all FIT’NG members as well.

The FIT’NG Together series include:

  • Practicals: Tutorials on techniques relevant to FIT’NG research. Practicals will be recorded and included on the website for members only.
  • Paper Talks: Discussions of recent cutting-edge research with the author(s) of the paper.
  • Work in Progress (WIPs): Opportunities for trainees to present their preliminary work and get advice and feedback from experienced researchers. WIPs will enable trainees to present unfinished projects and get constructive and supportive feedback from the audience.
  • Other Special events: Includes “fireside” chats with established researchers, data blitzes, advice panels, and more!

How can I ask for my mentor or program to pay for my membership?

We want FIT’NG memberships to be beneficial to trainees’ professional development.  We recommend spelling out the membership benefits as well as the added benefits provided by FIT’NG Together (listed below) when asking for approval to purchase your membership through your department/program/lab:

    • Access to tutorials on the latest methods for Fetal, Infant, and Toddler imaging and analysis (Practicals).
    • The opportunity to present your work to experts in the FIT field and receive constructive feedback (Works In Progress or WIPs). This is especially important for trainees at universities that do not have a long tradition of doing this kind of research.
    • Stay up to date on major advancements in the field, and have the opportunity to meet/network with the persons driving these advancements (Paper Discussions). “
