Data blitz meetings of MIND: Microbiome, Immunology, Neuroscience Discussions
Are you interested to attend to our new multidisciplinary data blitz discussions? MIND meetings will be centered around the intersection of the gut microbiome, immunology, and the brain. The goal is to create an environment where new ideas and projects are shared in their early infancy to complement larger more established work-in-progress forums at WashU.
These monthly discussions center around short data blitz presentations (15 mins presentations of new proposals or new preliminary data).
Motivated graduate students, postdocs and faculty members are welcome to participate!
When: 2:00p, 3rd Wednesday of the month
Where: McDonnell Pediatric Research Building 8108, 8th Floor (Snacks provided!)
Organizers: Marta Celorrio-Navarro (WashU Pediatrics), Stuart Friess (WashU Pediatrics) and Jasmin Herz (WashU Pathology & Immunology)
Note individual events are listed on the ONR Calendar.
