Scheduled Events


Friday Morning Talks

Each Friday morning, one of our graduate students presents his/her research topic to the members of the MPU in the RBC Conference Room (DS1.1427) of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) Glen Site. The "FMTs" are attended by students and members of the MPU.

Friday Noon Talks

On most Fridays during the academic year, the MPU hosts a noon talk. Given the current COVID-19 situation, talks are presented in a virtual format. The talks are open to all staff, students, and colleagues, and are generally presented by a visiting scientist/clinician.

 

Time: 12:00-13:00 (Eastern Standard Time)

Where to watch: Recordings and live streams* on our YouTube channel

*The availability of the live stream depends on the consent of our invited speaker

Thursday Journal Review and Research Meeting

On Thursdays, year-round (11:30 am), graduate students and staff meet to review new papers and discuss research topics in an informal context. Students discussing their topic present a very brief account of the status of their work and discussions and questions often lead to the resolution of specific problems ensues. The Journal Review sessions are attended by students and open to MPU members.
