"Beyond Single Cells: Subcellular Single Organelle ‘Omics and Functional Genomics"

The first year of graduate school comes with some big transitions and uncertainty.  Learning what to expect, and setting healthy boundaries, will help you survive and thrive through these changes.  The first workshop will focus on these topics, and will provide networking with other first-year grad students and an opportunity to sign up for future workshops, along with refreshments for participants.  This student-run series is funded by a grant from the IGB Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiative.  To sign up for our mailing list and to RSVP for the workshop, please visit https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/398930130.

"Multi-cellular biohybrid robots - a few lessons learned, a few challenges to overcome"

The symposium celebrates and highlights the centrality of Bill Ogren’s discovery of Rubisco oxygenase activity launching whole new fields of inquiry and whole new levels of understanding literally encompassing the enzyme to the globe. Join us as we hear from speakers representing leadership in research on environmental dynamics from the microbial to the global that Ogren’s discovery has fundamentally impacted.

RSVP here.

The event will celebrate the 200th birthday of Gregor Mendel, a key scientist in the emergence of modern genetics. Join us as we hear from speakers from ecology, history, and plant biology who will explore different aspects of genetics. The celebrations will also include open house events with hands-on activities for K-12 students.
