Events
Data Club Talks – Student Talks
Third year students will present their data in an informal setting to fellow students and faculty in the program. It is expected that all students in the program will attend these talks as they will serve as an invaluable part of their education and a wonderful opportunity to develop a dialogue to discuss the big questions of Chemical Biology. The talks will be 10 minutes in length followed by 5 minutes of questions and answers from the audience. These will be scheduled by the Chem Bio administrative team, and there will ordinarily be two data club meetings each term.
Program Retreat
The annual ChemBio retreat typically takes place in October/November. The event lasts for two days and provides an opportunity for students to be exposed to current areas of research that are the focus of students and faculty in the ChemBio Program. Students and faculty are invited by the organizing committee to present their research findings and ongoing projects in the laboratory, respectively, thereby allowing the incoming class to survey thesis lab options prior to starting the fall rotation. The retreat also includes an informal poster session in which students and faculty learn about the work of their peers. The retreat offers an ideal way for students to interact with the rest of the program in an informal, fun setting.
