Presentations will include:
- Senior/junior trainee (data discussion or journal club)- This will ideally be a shared presentation between a senior trainee or mentor and a Grad or undergrad student.
- Cross-disciplinary (data discussion or journal club)-This will include a joint presentation between a researcher from the Ob/Gyn and Engineering departments and will cover a subject that relates to both presenters expertise.
- Practice talks
- Traditional data discussion and article review
Undergraduates are encouraged to participate.
