Description

Purdue University is hosting its first Team Life Science Week in celebration of the vibrant life science community on campus. Lectures, tours, gallery receptions and more will take place on campus Monday (March 19) through Friday (March 23).

The festivities begin with a tipoff event in the Jischke Hall of Biomedical Engineering. Directors of the life sciences institutes will give a brief overview of their accomplishments and plans for the future, followed by a reception. Attendees will receive bracket-style feedback sheets for prioritizing the goals articulated during the presentations.

Purdue graduate students will have the opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt across campus on Thursday. They will be tested on their ability to find resources on campus to complete experiments and meet many of Purdue’s scientists along the way. Teams must have at least three graduate students, and all team members must be from different departments. A prize of $1,000 in travel money will be awarded to the winning team. Teams can register here.

Other events include “From the Dissection Lab,” a gallery reception; a Discovery Park Distinguished Lecture with the director of the Integrative Biology Institute at the University of Illinois; a brain and spinal cord injury seminar series and more. A full schedule of events can be found here.
