Summer Workshops, Minicourses, and Symposia
Each Summer, in addition to their research projects,
Hughes Fellows and Associates are invited to participate
in Workshops, Minicourses, and a daylong Symposium on themes and
skills related to their projects.
The Workshops address
such subjects as writing and critiquing abstracts; use of the Internet
and library reference tools; resumes and career discussions; and and
preparing a poster.
More
in-depth Minicourses
consist of two to eight workshops on a particular subject, such as
Bioinformatics, Bioethics, or Reading and Writing a Scientific Paper.
The 2009 minicourses will be Writing for Publication, run by Prof. Manju Hingorani, and Statistics and Data Analysis, run by Manolis Kaparakis, director of the Quanititative Analysis Center.
