Seminar Series

(BCB 501)

Each semester, IIDS sponsors 4-6 top scientists from across the US and worldwide to come to the 果冻传媒麻豆社 campus and present their recent research findings and BCB students have the unique opportunity to invite and host these scientists. These formal seminars and informal interactions expose BCB students to research interests, ideas, and expertise of leaders in the field(s).

Clubs

BCB Graduate Student Association

The BCB student group meets once a month for lively discussion of current research projects and potential future collaborations.

IIDS Lunch

Each week many BCB students participate in IIDS Lunch that occurs once a week all year long. These lunch meetings are in one of the following formats: (i) “Thunder Thursday” when up to three IIDS investigators present quick informal “lightening talks” on their work followed by Q & A, (ii) a member of the IIDS leadership will discuss upcoming events and deadlines, changes to procedures and policies, new opportunities for IIDS, and so forth, (iii) directors update on new capabilities and changes to operating procedures, or (iv) informal discussions occur at round tables of eight or more people. These regular lunches expose BCB students to information, discussions and a culture of productive collegial collaborations that most students at US universities do not have access to.
