EVENT FORMAT

3 pm - Research Project Pitches

The first hour will consist of concise 5 minute “Power Talks” to highlight specific projects or interests for which speakers are searching for collaborations. This will include presentations from a variety of fields including the life sciences and data science. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research staff, and faculty are all welcome to request a presentation. Multiple talks from the same research group will only be considered if time slots are available after all other groups have submitted their requests.

4 pm - Social Hour

Event participants are encouraged to network and initiate conversations with potential collaborators. All participants are welcome to bring posters or other displays that may foster discussion - see below for details. Snacks and beverages will be provided at this time.
