Seeking Summer Brown Bag Lunch Presenters and Talks

As summer begins, please note that the CMCI Brown Bag Lunches will continue on Mondays at 12:30pm in the Collaboratorium (IRIC 352).

BBLs are a great opportunity for Working Groups to present updates on what they’ve been doing during the academic year or what they plan on doing in the future. If you are the leader of a working group, please inspire someone to present such an update over the summer.

Also, if anyone has a presentation that they need to practice for a conference, or just wants to roll around a few ideas with a bunch of really smart people, please let Celeste Brown know and she will schedule you for a lunch talk.

Talks do not need to be more than 30 minutes, less if you think there will be a lot of good discussion around your topic.

Please contact Celeste if you are interested or if you have any questions. All dates starting June 4 are open!!
