Presenting Public Lectures

Presenting Public Lectures - Ph.D. candidates are required to give three seminars or other public presentations during their doctoral work.   This requirement may be satisfied by participation in seminar courses (such as MCB 557), selected topics course, or journal clubs in which a presentation of greater than 30 minutes is given by the student and more than five individuals are in attendance.  The MCB Journal Club and related journal clubs (e.g., Plant Molecular Biology and Animal Sciences) provide opportunities for seminar presentations.  A presentation of more than 15 minutes at a national meeting will also satisfy the requirement.  At least two faculty members must be in attendance (with the exception of national meetings).  The student will be responsible for turning in a ‘Seminar’ form with the signatures from the attending faculty to document public presentations.
