Students reflect on and synthesize their research progress over the previous year and practice public speaking to a broad scientific audience. Students in the audience are exposed to the array of techniques and approaches used by their colleagues, and have the opportunity to ask questions in a comfortable environment. Research presentations delivered by students in year 2 and beyond. Each week, two students give 25-minute oral presentations with slides. Students are asked to provide context for their research project, describe their progress and future goals, and field questions from the audience.
