Colleagues, 

The VCU Wright CCTR is involved with many exciting and well-designed programs taking place in the upcoming weeks. I hope you will be able to attend some of these and represent our team well. 

Please note that our August monthly staff meeting will take place this Thursday. The RealTime launch for our group will kick off very soon and we want to ensure that everyone is familiar with the system beforehand. 

Have an excellent week,

Apply for the "How-to Talks by Postdocs" Series

Tompkins-McCaw Library for the Health Sciences (VCU Libraries), VCU Wright Center for Clinical and Translational Research, and the VCU Postdoctoral Association invite postdoctoral scholars to participate in a brown-bag lunch speaker program titled,  " How-to Talks by Postdocs ." 

In this series, postdocs will present a 45-minute how-to talk on a health sciences topic of their choice. These are not seminar talks, but an opportunity for postdocs to share how to do something related to the health sciences and gain some teaching experience. All talks will be open to the general VCU community.

Postdocs can apply for a teaching slot by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, September 2, 2016. 

Please contact Karen Gau at gaukh@vcu.edu or ( 804) 628-2291 with any questions.
