This monthly forum brings together researchers from biological, physical and engineering backgrounds to present and discuss their research. Our focus is on research in progress talks, giving opportunities for graduate students and post-docs to present.
For the fall of 2020, the PEB Discussion Group will be held virtually.
If you would like to be added to our mailing list or present your research, please contact the organizers for this academic year:
Kyra Thrush (CBB) and Alex Grigas (CBB)
