SM and PhD students are welcome to join in for a roundtable discussion of internship and research project experiences shared by a special panel of our own experienced students Lily Koffman (SM BIO), Nick Birk (SM BIO), Raphaelle Toubiana (CBQG), Alana McGovern (SM BIO), Rachel Ketchum (SM BIO), Anjali Jha (SM CBQG), and Matthew West (SM CBQG). Learn about the application/interview process, how to get the most out of the experience, and about existing opportunities both out in the field and here within our academic community. Earlier in the fall we learned about similar opportunities and experiences in the data science realm (given the earlier application timeline for such openings), and now we will hear valuable insights and advice from our Biostatistics and CBQG students who have been out in the field!
Biostat Student Seminar Internship Presentations
Wednesday, November 18, 2020 | 1:00-1:55pm | ALL students are welcome!
This particular week the BSS will host a short sequence of presentations by SM and PhD students (Andy Shi, Irina Degtiar, Lily Koffman and Raphaelle Toubiana) who have completed internship-type experiences out in the field. Come learn about the statistical, data science, computational biology and genetics work our students have been involved in during these opportunities. These short talks (Wednesday) will be focused on the science involved; whereas the Roundtable (Thursday) will be focused on the experiences, insights and advice drawn from such.
