The most productive labs, departments and work groups are the ones that understand the cultural values that affect relationships, communication style and scientific reasoning, and whose members share the ability to recognize and adapt to these differences. When everyone on a team \u2013 Americans and internationals alike \u2013 shares an understanding of these cultural dimensions and a vocabulary for discussing them in a neutral, balanced way, they can proceed to their shared core work more quickly and productively. In this workshop, we will briefly review the international research on cultural values that affect work assumptions and relationships, and differences in scientific reasoning approaches that affect collaborations in multicultural teams. We will look at core cultural values in communication style and work relationships, including relationships between lab directors and staff, decision-making, work commitment, and other topics suggested by attendees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Open to all postdocs, PhD students, faculty, and staff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To register: email Yolanta@bu.edu<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Featuring:\u00a0 Anne Copeland, PhD Founder and Executive Director, the Interchange Institute Tuesday, June 19 \u25023:30 \u2013 5:00 pm \u2502Wilkins Boardroom 120 Evans, 72 East Concord St. Today\u2019s university is a mini-United Nations.
