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.  There will be two minicourse in 2008, Statistics and Data Analysis, run by Manolis Kaparakis, Director of the Quanititative Analysis Center, and a writing minicourse titled Turning Your Research into a Science Paper, by Manju Hingorani of the MBB.  Those interested in the latter should meet with Prof. Hingorani by June 4.
