Weekly informal presentations by graduate students about their research projects. This includes description of experimental outline, technical details, problems that are encountered and possible solutions. The active informal discussion among the participants is designed to generate communication skills, new ideas, interpretations and introduce novel techniques that would aid the graduate student. There will also be formal seminars of more advanced research projects intended as an exercise in public speaking and a comprehensive presentation. A summary of the work accomplished during the practicum (MB&B 501, 502) will be expected of first year students. A sixty minute meeting every week is planned. (This course is required of all graduate students).
