Virtual “Genetics Hour”

Second Tuesdays, 4:00-5:30 p.m. via Zoom

Nationwide Trainee Networking Group: This is a new monthly networking opportunity.  This is not a journal club or presentation, but more of a happy-hour style discussion about current topics in genetics – since this is clearly a subject we all love. While this may not exactly compare to spontaneous conversation at conferences, we wanted to bring you all together virtually so you can begin to get to know your nationwide teammates. Contact Dr. Jennifer Helley, jheeley@wustl.edu to be added to the email distribution list.
