Educational Activities
Monthly NDRC Investigator Forum
During the academic year the NDRC Investigator Forum meets monthly to provide a venue for an exchange of research findings and ideas across disciplines. Presenters are requested to make their presentations understandable to investigators outside of their field. Differing from most other research seminars, the overarching aim of this gathering is to promote inter-disciplinary interactions. This seminar takes place on the second Tuesday of each month from 12 noon to 1:30. Presentations are from 12:15-1:00 with discussion from 1:00-1:30.
