“Ask a Grad Student” on Tuesday, Jan 23! (Computational Medicine)

“Ask a Grad Student” is organized by the Department of Computational Medicine in response to requests from undergraduate students in in any major who have questions about applying to graduate school and PhD programs related to computational medicine.  This is open to undergraduates (including first years!) who are considering graduate school in biomathematics, bioinformatics, and similar fields.

Tuesday, Jan. 23 from 12-2 PM 

Ask A Grad Student is informal, drop-in Q&A with two PhD students, one in Biomathematics and one in Bioinformatics, who will answer your questions about the application process, letters of recommendation, how to get research experience as an undergrad, Masters vs. PhD, what the first year of the PhD is like, and more.  If they cannot answer your question, they will refer you to someone who can.  You can come at any time between 12-2pm and stay as long as you want. We will provide some coffee, iced tea, and snacks, and we encourage you to bring your own lunch and cup.

Room: 5229 LSB (Life Sciences Building). Fifth floor. Turn left out of the elevator, then turn left again.  Last room on the right.

OR, you may participate via Zoom:https://ucla.zoom.us/j/96255024007?pwd=blFJdW16MzViYWRUbWFidWsxZkJvUT09

If you cannot make it to this one, don’t worry–we intend to offer it again in February on a different day and time.
