Are you interested in getting involved in research but not sure where to start? The Research@UW seminar, hosted by the CALS Health and Research Society, is designed to help freshman and sophomore science students who are interested in research by providing them with experience asking questions about research and a level of familiarity with the dynamics of a research lab, the types of research being done on campus, and what qualities researchers look for in undergrads. The seminar will consist of a Q&A with a panel of researchers, followed by a breakout into small round-table discussions with undergraduate attendees. Refreshments provided. Panelists might even meet the newest addition to their lab!
