The 18th annual Biological Sciences Graduate Student Symposium will be held on Friday, November 13th, 2009.
We are pleased to announce that the keynote speaker this year will be Dr. Barton F. Haynes, Frederic M. Hanes Professor of Medicine and Immunology, Director of the Duke Human Vaccine Institute, and the Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI), Duke University Medical Center. His unique perspective on academia and science education will be beneficial not only for graduate students considering their future career paths, but for post-docs and faculty as well. On Friday November 13th, 2009 at 8:45 AM we will commence at the Bryan Research Building with breakfast, followed by presentations in the main lecture hall of Bryan. The oral presentations will be by Duke University graduate students from the biological sciences departments. A poster session and lunch will be held in the Hall of Science of the LSRC C-wing where the work of graduate students will be featured. The day will conclude with an address by Dr. Haynes, back at the Bryan Research Building lecture hall, "The Initial B Cell Response to HIV and Influenza: Clues to Vaccine Development." There is much to be gained in coming to all or part of the event: check out the research going on around you at Duke and hear the perspective of Dr. Haynes on science education and academia. Come out to enjoy a free breakfast and lunch, earn an honorarium and gain valuable experience by presenting your work to your peers, or be eligible for monetary prizes by submitting a poster. We look forward to seeing you there! Please register abstracts of presentations, posters, or cover art for the abstract book and peruse the schedule at the links below.
