Events

The DRB Program plans a number of recurring events aimed at maintaining connections across our dynamic community. Monthly student research and career development iniatives are combined with program-wide recruitment and networking events to allow trainees to share updates on their research progress, meet new collaborators and connect with colleagues and friends in a supportive environment. Most events are open to all current and prospective DRB community members. DRB Program degree candidates and affiliated students are strongly encouraged to participate in the majority of these trainee designed-and-run activies. 

Annual Events

 

Meet the DRB

The DRB Program hosts an annual recruitment event with student posters, lightning talks, and a BBQ social. Find more information here.

 

New Year's Party

At the conclusion of the DRB bootcamp, the DRB community converges for a New Year's celebration. This event serves to foster the social ties of the community and to allow for recognition of fall DRB graduates. The relaxed atmosphere helps provide opportunities for students and faculty members to network.

 

DRB Symposium

The DRB students organize a yearly symposium in spring which highlights cutting edge research across the DRB community at Harvard and from visiting leaders in the field. Find more information here.
