Quotes from
Students who
Attended the
Meeting
"As a student look-
ing to broaden my
career in that direction
[systems biology], it
was super gratifying
to see so many new
approaches and how
other scientists think
about these
techniques.”

“As a graduate student,
the meeting was an
important opportunity
to network, see where
fields are heading, and
to get feedback and
input on my
current work.”

Undergraduate Student
Mixer and Poster Fest
Saturday, February 7, 4:00-5:00
