Seminars & Working Groups
Students expand their expertise and experience in biostatistics by participating in weekly all-department seminars, Journal Club, and other offerings.
The weekly seminar series typically includes a round of faculty lightning talks each year. The goal of these talks is to expose students to faculty research and generate thoughtful discussion outside a structured learning environment. Faculty prepare a short overview of their area of expertise and stimulate discussion regarding potential avenues of research. This event has historically provided students with a terrific opportunity to find and connect with collaborators.
The 2024 lightning talks took place on Wednesday, April 3, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time. The lineup:
- Jonathan Schildcrout
- Bryan Shepherd
- Jinyuan Liu
- Bryan Blette
