Once a year each student engaged in thesis research is required to present a 40 - 50 minute seminar describing his/her current findings and plans for future work. These workshops are held weekly and are attended by all students and by faculty, postdoctoral fellows, research associates and technicians.
The presentations provide the opportunity for research students to benefit from the experience of the members of the audience. The presentations are also used by the members of thesis advisory committees as a measure of the student's progress. These seminars also provide valuable training in presentation skills.
Many research laboratories take part in regular inter-laboratory meetings at which current results, hypotheses and technical problems are presented for discussion. For example, there are group meetings focused on signal transduction, and structural biology.
These student led seminars are scheduled for 2009-2010 as posted on the Sackler School calendar.
