Open BrunoGrandePhD opened 8 years ago
I'll be meeting with Nicole (from the Library) to talk about the idea next week.
Hi guys,
The research commons may be able to bring some speakers / workshop leaders. The talk or workshop has to represent more than one discipline, so we could invite a speaker / workshop leader that could touch subjects related to Biology / Statistics / Microbiology (or any other combination of disciplines). Please note that across disciplines doesn't have to be Social Science and Business, it can be Biology and Microbiology.
Here are some additional examples: SMRT® Analysis tools (for PacBio data), epigenomics dana analysis, De Novo alignment and analyses of data from non-model organisms, PRIMER (or other ecology related programs), etc.
We should plan for at least two speakers per semester. At the last meeting (August 4th) we discussed the idea of an honorarium, but funding for that might only be available if it is oriented towards career development (@brunogrande has more details) . @vguerracanedo your suggestions seem good, we should try to make it happen!
@vguerracanedo mentioned during the meeting on 2016-05-16 that we should perhaps look into getting a speaker from the field and/or industry. The following is taken from an email she sent with more information.
