Dr. Xiangjun Feng
The Association for Asian Studies (AAS) 2024 Annual Conference - March 2024
This was my second time attending the American Psychosomatic Society's annual conference, the last being in Washington DC in 2019. As a postdoctoral fellow having received many awards, I had the chance to mentor graduate students at the conference. On Thursday night, I participated in a Round Table on funding applications. Mentoring is very important to me and this is why I want to share experience with future generations of researchers. I was able to discuss and give feedback to several young researchers. Also, I had the chance to discuss with several researchers from Canada and other countries. The conference allowed me to learn about the latest research in the field of psychosomatic sciences, a multidisciplinary field that includes public health, exercise science, health psychology, biology, and so on. Finally, I presented the results of my first study as a postdoctoral fellow with Pr Eli Puterman. An Unforgettable experience marking a great step in my academic career.
