Description: The USFCA ACS has the great honor of hosting Youngho Seo, PhD to give a talk about his research experience and about the UCSF Masters in Biomedical Imaging Program!
In brief, the program is a 1-year graduate program focusing on Biomedical Imaging (e.g., MRI, CT, PET, SPECT, X-ray, Ultrasound, etc.), and has proven to be a great bridge program for students before they go to medical schools, PhD graduate programs, and industry. Some graduates stay longer within the department (Radiology and Biomedical Imaging within School of Medicine) to continue their research. This is a great opportunity for those graduating within the upcoming year.

Description: Were you ever curious about what your chemistry professors are like outside of the classroom? This is your chance to find out! Feel free to stop by and have ask questions to any of the faculty!
Remarks: An absolutely amazing event and turnout! Students were able to come and bond with their professors. From finding out about experiments exploding in labs, asking to hear chemistry puns that one might ether understand or not, or asking about their star signs-- our professors created a very inclusive and friendly atmosphere.
