Graduate Program in Genetics Seminars and other activities:
Exchange of information with colleagues is an essential component of scientific life. The Genetics Department
hosts a Genetics Journal Club as well as a weekly seminar series. Advanced graduate students present the results of their
research to members of the Department in a Research in Progress series each year. The annual departmental retreat consists
of a weekend program of informal research talks, poster sessions, and discussions. This provides an outstanding opportunity
to keep up-to-date with the diverse research underway in the department and to participate in vigorous scientific discussions.
In addition to these intradepartmental activities, there are many additional seminar programs in which outside speakers from
the U.S. and abroad present their work to the Yale scientific community. Students have the opportunity to meet with these
guests as well as to select and host seminar speakers. Students are also encouraged to travel to scientific meetings and
to present their research.
