The PDA seminar series is made possible by funds obtained from several departments and programs at Baylor College of Medicine. The seminar series is held from June through August/September when other seminar series are discontinued. These seminars provide postdocs with the opportunity to interact with established researchers and also to provide postdocs the experience of coordinating and hosting a guest speaker. Our seminar series has repeatedly received positive feedback from postdocs, faculty, and students as well as from the guest speakers themselves.
Seminars are on Tuesdays at 4 pm in Alkek N315.

Also note: The Neuroscience Department hosts a seminar series entitled "Post Doctoral Fellow Presentation Skills Development Program", featuring presentations by departmental Postdoctoral fellows.
