Doctoral Research Club

Catalog description

Each semester, all Departmental of Biological Sciences graduate students are required to register for and attend the weekly departmental Research Club (Doctoral Research Club 03-755 ; 3 units) during which students and faculty members give 25-minute presentations. Second-year students present a research paper or topic from the literature, and more senior students present their research results; typically, graduate students give four Research Club presentations during their time in the department. Each succeeding year those students who speak at the Departmental Retreat or who are graduating by May of their fifth year are not required to present at Research Club that year.
