Behavioral Presentation Technical
I spent the entire day meeting with the team. First, I had conversations with two principal investigators. Following that, I delivered a presentation to the whole department. We then had lunch together, and the day concluded with a one-on-one meeting with my potential line manager. It was a long day but very rewarding.
