Sign Up for a Seminar

We hold once-monthly seminars featuring either two graduate students (30 min each) or one postdoc (1 hr), designed to expose members to diverse perspectives and provide a framework for receiving feedback from the broader center community. Presentation of both “complete” research stories and “in-progress” efforts are welcome.  Sign up by filling out this form.
