Biophysics Lunch on DNA Oragami!

Friday, March 29, 2019 - 12:00pm

Hasbrouck 409

Join us for lunch and a talk on "Folding of DNA and DNA Origami Structures" by Moumita Dasgupta from the Physics Department at Smith College.  The talk is informal and lunch is provided. Lively discussion guaranteed!  Students, postdocs, faculty, all are welcome - no RSVP needed.

 

Membrane SLAM!

Monday, February 25, 2019 - 2:00pm

LSL S330

Join us for a scientific jam session on biological and bio-inspired membranes and membrane interactions!

The first hour or this workshop will consist of short talks (the "slam") on membrane-related topics. An agenda is attached below. Everyone is welcome to attend, whether or not you registered in advance. Note that talks start promptly at 2 pm: coffee and snacks will be available at 1:45 pm.
 
Talks will be followed by a break-out sessions to discuss funding directions and opportunities. This breakout is aimed primarily at faculty, but postdocs are also welcome to attend.
