Introducing the MCB Postdoc Lunchclub
The MCB Postdoc Lunchclub aims to bring postdocs together once a month to discuss issues relating to our postdoc experience while enjoying some free food. We offer a forum where we can both learn about each other's work as well as find ways to improve our day to day lives. See the end of this email for a link to our website and RSVP for the next lunchclub!
Recent Panel Discussions

Speakers Needed!
In addition to these panel discussions, we offer a venue to practice your research talk in an informal friendly atmosphere. We're looking for speakers to present at upcoming lunchclubs. Slots are available throughout the summer, so email us at [email protected] if you're looking to practice that upcoming job talk, conference talk, or would just like to get some general feedback on a nascent project.
