Information about Affiliated Departments

A Guide of who to contact if you wish to present your research to grad students in affiliated departments

ChBE
- In the fall, ChBE grad students attend faculty project presentations to choose their labs/projects which they enter spring semester their first year. These presentations are on Tuesdays and Thursdays and go on for roughly 6 weeks beginning in September. Contact Dom if you would like the opportunity to give a presentation. ChBE grad students are funded by their project lab beginning spring semester of their first year. (This may change – committee meets on Tuesday, July 29).
- Dominique J. De Vangel
MCDB
- They have a class that meets on Monday evenings in the fall where MCDB and other faculty can present their research. Email Karen to get on the list for an informational email. She begins to schedule this in August, 2014

EBIO

Teal Potter and Toby Hammer Teal.Potter@Colorado.EDU; Tobin.Hammer@Colorado.EDU

EBIO students are already affiliated with a lab/sponsor when they enter the program so are not looking for a lab in the fall. They do have Brown Bag sessions on Wednesdays from 12-1 which would be a possible opportunity to expose EBIO grad students to cross department collaborations affiliated with BioFrontiers. Here is a link to the calendar: http://ebio.colorado.edu/index.php/events-brownbag . Teal and Toby should be able to help with the scheduling.

I am organizing our intro to research seminar for our first-year students. This runs in the spring and he would be happy to have BioFrontiers faculty on the schedule to present.

Physics

Eric Cornell
Graduate Student Opportunities Seminar.
ecornell@jilau1.colorado.edu

CU Physics Department's Graduate Research Opportunity Seminars. The purpose of these talks is to give grad students (especially first year students) a chance to learn a bit more about the different research efforts in the department and in other units and local institutions engaged in physics research. It also serves to give faculty (especially those looking for grad students) a chance to advertise their research. Advanced undergrads are also invited to the talks.
These talks take place on Mondays between noon and 1 PM. Lunch is provided for the students, so the turnout among the first year grad students has been fairly good in past years. There are two speakers each week, each speaker getting 20 minutes (+5 minutes for questions).

Tuesdays 12-1 PM in JSCBB A226 – Schedule on IQ Biology CalendarJ

Thursdays 12-1 PM – TBD – These are going to be more “host the speaker” type of events and other special events for the students. No schedule is really set yet.

BioFrontiers Science Alliance

Different students run these, but Andrea Stith knows who they are as they change. They meet periodically throughout the year and give “science shorts” to one another. A faculty member as a guest presenter would be welcome.
