The Interdisciplinary Speed Talks consist in a set of graduate students or full-fledged researchers delivering very short presentations (4-5 min) on an ongoing project they’re working on, ideally one that they wish to collaborate on with people from other disciplines. This is a great way to learn about current research being done at different fields, getting exposed to completely new methods, and learning about exciting new datasets.
Past editions were a lot of fun, but also gave way to great encounters with fellow researchers (seasoned and green) and new subjects.
Past editions’ topics and presenters:
Presenters typically come from the following departments:
- Departments of Earth and Environmental Sciences (DEES)
- Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (E3B)
