Lab Research
Students are required to attend all Physiology Department Seminars, which will be posted throughout the department. Also, students are required to attend 12 luncheons with seminar speakers. For six of the seminars, the students will be required to read a relevant paper from the speaker's lab prior to the seminar (a relevant paper can be found by searching the web). After the seminar, students will write a 300-500 word summary of the talk (including 5 or more references) and submit to Madeline the Tuesday after the seminar.
