Demonstrations Students are encouraged to observe experiments in laboratories other than those to which they are assigned. The training period will be ten weeks in duration starting on Monday, June 4, 2001. A seminar or lecture will be scheduled for every other week during the ten week program. Each presentation will be devoted to a report of research in progress or to a topic related to work in which the students are engaged. These sessions will be presented by the staff and will be geared to the level of understanding of the fellows.
Attendance is mandatory and questions are encouraged.
Seminars may be followed by an open discussion about the program as a whole or a general discussion about career opportunities in the biosciences and how best to pursue a research or teaching career. The MMRL hosts visiting scientists from throughout the world. Fellows are invited to attend these seminars and to ask questions. No formal coursework is required, but fellows will be expected to read the scientific literature and participate in discussions about published articles or textbook material. More importantly, they will be better prepared to make important career decisions.
