  • Poster Symposium: Let your research take center stage. Present your data and engage in informal, high-level scientific exchange with peers across the Division in a low-pressure environment.
  • Lightning Talks: Break the mold. Showcase your work through the lens of Methodology, Short Stories, or Problem Solving. Fast-paced, creative, and compelling.
  • Speed Networking: Step away from the bench. Spark fresh collaborations and strengthen our community through a high-energy, fun, and casual networking experience.

Why Join Us?

Breaking Silos. Building Belonging. The Celebration of Science is a direct response to the need for low-stakes community building. We are moving beyond the traditional symposium to create a space where every graduate student in the Division of Biology & Medicine feels they belong.
