APL’s Young Professionals Network Looks toward the Lab’s Centennial

Abstract

This article and the illustrations that follow highlight what members of APL’s Young Professionals Network (YPN) think the Lab might look like when it reaches its centennial. YPN aims to assist early-career staff members build community and develop their careers, while giving them the opportunity to help shape the future of the Lab by providing input on APL leadership’s strategic planning directions. Today’s YPN members will be at the height of their careers—and possibly APL’s leaders—in 2042, so their insights are especially valuable.
