Weekly Seminars
The seeds of the CSB were nurtured by regular open meetings that interleave research presentations with tutorials and journal clubs. The basic character of these meetings remains the same: free and open discussions where all are invited, and so-called dumb questions are not only accepted but welcomed. These questions are critical to educating ourselves and forming crucial links between disciplines.
Meetings are held weekly in Room 4233 of the CSB space in the French Family Science Center; during Fall 2009 the meetings are at 2:30pm on Wednesday afternoons.
