MBI 501 - Mbi Student Seminar Series

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

A program of seminars held once a week and conducted by graduate students is presented each semester. Continuous registration is required of all Ph.D. students in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology; attendance of Departmental faculty is also expected. The objective is to train students to present their research in a form accessible for a non-specialized scientific audience. Each student starting from her/his second year is required to present three times. The first presentation should last 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions. It should include background information, rationale, experimental design, and relevance of the project; preliminary data are welcome but not essential. The following two presentations should be formal, 45 minute long, "research in progress" seminars allowing 10-15 minutes for questions. Each presenter is expected to answer questions from other students and from faculty in the audience. Confidential evaluation provides feedback to presenters.
