Meeting and Workshop Formats

Weekly Meeting Formats

Weekly presentation for one hour around lunch-time.
  • Presentations will have one of the following formats:
    1. Presentation of an omics analysis related published paper(s) by one or more students, postdocs, staff, or faculty.
      • A preference will be given for students and then postdocs to present.
    2. Presentation by an invited outside speaker in omics technology, application, and/or analysis.
      • Roughly once a month or 3 per semester.
    3. Presentation by faculty, staff, or postdoc of an omics-integration research project to foster collaboration and solicit feedback.
    4. Presentation by faculty or staff of an omics-integration related grant proposal for critique.
    5. Workshop presentation by an expert (faculty, staff, and/or graduate student) in the use of a tool, method, or skill that is of general interest.

Journal Club Format

These are intended to present, discuss, and critique new methods, results, etc, in specific omics and omics-integration related research areas.

A suggested presentation format with a target length of 45 minutes, which leaves 15 minutes for discussion:
  1. Title that includes a reference for the focal paper(s) of the presentation.
  2. Outline that lays out what will be presented.
  3. Background information to introduce major concepts and techniques.
    • Include the relevance/significance of the presented paper(s).
  4. Results, especially the figures in the presented paper(s).
  5. Author's conclusions that faithfully represent their concluding views.
  6. Presenter's conclusions about the quality and usefulness of the presented material.
    • This is a critique of the presented material, but salient critiques may be sprinkled throughout the presentation.
    • May want to reiterate the relevance/significance of the presented material.

Research Project Format

These presentations are meant for individuals to communicate:
  • Overall research programs.
  • Novel results in a lab or an individual research project.
  • Ask for assistance and/or collaboration on experimental design, analysis, etc.

A suggested presentation format with a target length of 40 minutes, which leaves 20 minutes for discussion:
  1. Title that includes a reference of the presented research.
  2. Outline that lays out what will be presented.
  3. Background information to introduce major concepts and techniques.
    • Include the relevance/significance of the research.
  4. Results.
  5. Conclusions that indicate the major outcomes of the presented research.
  6. Current Challenges that highlights barriers to overcome in the presented research.
    • Hopefully, this will spark quite a bit of discussion and foster collaborations.

Workshop Format

Workshop formats are still being discussed. We may spin off workshops on specific topics of interest for the following purposes:
  1. To provide training in specific skills.
  2. To foster collaborations on specific topics.
  3. To provide more in-depth exposure and discussion of a topic.
