The BCTP Trainees have organized a new happy hour-style Journal Club series called SLURP— South Lake Union Readiness Party!
 |
 |
Have you ever attended a seminar and thought to yourself, “Wow, this is probably pretty cool research, I wish I knew more about it coming in so I could follow the presentation better.” If the answer is yes– then SLURP is for you!
The goal of SLURP is to help attendees prepare for seminars given by Distinguished Lecturers who will be visiting to share their research at the Cardiovascular Biology Breakfast Club Seminar Series.
Bring your own drink and join us for our SLURP Series. Each of these journal club/happy hour-style sessions will take place a day or two before its respective Breakfast Club talk. These will be run by trainees and will give attendees the opportunity to delve a little deeper into the speakers’ research, helping you prepare to get the most out of the talk. An added benefit, networking with your peers!
