The GSA is proud to uphold several annual traditions designed to foster the academic and intellectual growth of our members. As part of New Student Orientation, the GSA hosts a seminar designed to help both PhD and Master's students think about how to choose research labs for their rotations and eventual thesis work and how to be professional in the lab.
In March, the GSA sponsors several events throughout Women in Science Month. The events educate the student body on the unique barriers faced by women in the sciences, celebrate the progress that has been made, and develop strategies for overcoming the remaining challenges in achieving equality in the biomedical sciences.
To aid in the development of science communications, the GSA has hosted a 3-Minute Thesis Competition and an annual Science Slam. In both events, students give short, narrative-driven presentations on their research and will be judged for prizes.
