Unless otherwise noted, journal clubs are from 12:00-1:00 PM and include lunch. 

Journal clubs are currently postponed. 

Defenses and CQEs are open to the public and will be held virtually for the Fall 2020 semester. To participate, click the button to join the Teams meeting associated with the Defense or CQE.

We ask that all attendees adhere to the following guidelines when attending a virtual Defense or CQE:

2. Please enter your name and join the meeting. Please join with audio only and ensure that you are muted when joining. 
3. At the conclusion of the presentation, there will be time to ask questions. Unless you are directly asking a question, please leave your microphone muted at all times. If there are a large number of questions, the chair may request that attendees submit questions via chat rather than out loud.
