CIMR is proud to host a new Friday Seminar Series! Once a month we will showcase diverse and impactful research work to our students and faculty involved in the CIMR programs and beyond.
Each session includes a presentation from a researcher on current research, followed by an interactive meet n' greet with our students. This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to learn about various research fields, as well as for students to connect with potential mentors and learn about research opportunities.
Speakers will also share about their personal journeys to becoming researchers, including motivations, and how their work impacts their field or communities.
When: Fridays, from 3pm-4:30pm
Where: CIMR Multipurpose Room and Zoom
