Poster Session and Networking Event
Grant Courtyard
Friday, August 14th, 2009
4 to 7 p.m.
All Stanford University post-doctoral scholars are invited to participate in the 2009 SUPD Poster Session and Networking symposium. This symposium is an opportunity for Stanford postdocs to present their research to postdocs and scientists in a university-wide event. Stanford postdocs tend to be well connected to people who work within their own labs or hallways, but many of us are unaware of scholars who share similar professional interests and work in other Stanford departments or schools. Participation in this symposium provides a venue for postdocs to build networks of professional expertise at Stanford outside of their home department. We hope that postdocs will use the symposium to connect and share information, to receive feedback on existing or future research ideas, learn about novel approaches employed by other Stanford labs to address research questions, find future collaborators, and more!
The SUPD encourages all Stanford postdocs to participate in the
symposium. We have space for 30 posters, which will be accepted on
a first come, first serve basis (via the submission form
below). Even if you are not able to present a poster, please come to
the symposium to network with fellow Stanford postdocs and enjoy
snacks and beverages! Wine will be provided through generous
donations by John Pringle, Stan Cohen, Sara Michie and the Stanford
University School of Medicine Career Center. Postdoctoral poster presenters will be entered into a raffle to win prizes including a $25 gift certificate to Princeton Seafood Co. in Half Moon Bay.
